Thoughts On The 8/28 Dudley Manlove Quartet Performance
On Saturday 8/28 The Dudley Manlove Quartet performed at a wedding reception in Seattle. It was a very nice day for this event and because it was being held right on the water, we had a beautiful venue to work in. Part of the “adventure” was simply getting there. The two most logical approaches to this location were both closed due to road construction, resulting in a fairly significant detour. I must have driven 5 miles off my planned route just to get to the location. Once we arrived and loaded in, we discovered the room had a permanent stage built into one corner. It was pretty small and we had some doubt whether we’d fit, but we succeeded in cozying ourselves onto it.
The event itself was a lot of fun, with a lot of great energy from the audience. The bride and groom informed us we’d been identified as a requirement for the reception. In fact, they told us that the first words exchanged after the proposal were something to the effect of “…and we HAVE to get Dudley Manlove Quartet to play the reception!”. That kind of information always makes us feel very happy and honored to be part of a wedding event.
So, great food and an amazing view, plus fun dancing and happy people. Total winner for us.
