I could come if it were the following weekend (Oct. 17th-18th). I have a concert on the 11th.

pa, is that a new kitten of yours?

I'd love to attend. Count me in. October's one of my favorite times on the Cape.

Howard

It's official. The date for the Piano Party is Sat. Oct.10. It will be in Orleans on the Cape and hosted by the same trio as 2 years ago. The Sun. Oct 11 brunch is still not set in stone. The Howes would like to host it again but are waiting on their children's regatta schedule.

To answer some previous questions. It usually begins around noon and goes to whenever. The time distance from Providence is about 1 1/2 hours.

I'll post more info as we have more planning sessions.

We will have 5 more guests from central NY who are not members but hope to come. If so, they are fine musicians and good listeners (and good cooks).

Hope many more will be coming. Just 3 1/2 months away. It's a great time of year on the Cape.

Linda Gloo

Perfect date. I am 80% firm that I can come and possibly with 2-3 guests.

This is great seeing others express an interest especially those of you coming a distance.

What great timing for your East coast visit, Piqué!!

For those who are unaware of LisztAddict's piano adventures, he was up here recently for the Boston Int'l Piano Competition. I'm thrilled to know I'll be able to hear him play this time after having missed his performance during the competition.

hv (Howard)... I've always enjoyed your many contributions and especially the recordings of your wife playing at different events. Very pleased to know we will all have a chance to meet you and Susan (correct??)


Louis XV.. I'd love to see pics of your Steinway if you are able to join us. I didn't see any previously posted.

And as always, Eric, Lilylady, Frank, Ladyford, Woodfab, all our Cape members, this is a fantastic opportunity to meet up with everyone. I hope others who frequent our local gatherings are "psyched" by this event and will chime in to say so.

Thanks to the host families for allowing the plans to be posted at an early date allowing those coming a distance to have advance time to make their travel arrangements.

Thanks for the update Linda!! Hope Jerry's sharing the piano with you!

I've already noticed my practice time has increased! October will be here before you know it!

found out last night that family weekend is oct 9-10-11.

if junior is playing in the saturday football game, we won't be able to make it.

if he isn't, we possibly can.

or if mr. pique decides to bag family weekend, i could be there.

EXCEPT-- our wedding anniversary is on oct. 11th, so i do want to be with mr. pique that weekend.

we probably won't be able to commit before some time in september.

I'm jealous, I'd love to come. If I was a stronger swimmer, I might.

Hello Cape Cod Pianists,

I live on the Oregon Coast - about as far from you Cape Cod as I can get - so I doubt I will be able to join you for your party in October. BUT - I would like some information about your party. It would be wonderful if we could have a West Coast version.

PS I was on the Cape in late April presenting an organ and media concert, "From Sea to Shining Sea" at the Lutheran Church in Orleans. Lovely place - stayed at the historic Inn on the bay in Orleans - quite a treat.

Dr. J

My preliminary plan is to be there too this year!

John

Sue and I were both out that way for the holiday weekend and are looking forward to meeting everyone in Oct!

Howard

How do we find out the hours people will be welcome where to go and should we bring something?

Woodfab
Dan and Luisa

The party starts at about noon (12:00) on Saturday, we will post driving instructions as Oct gets closer. Bring your music and appetite (If you are absolutely driven to show off your favorite receipt please coordinate with Terry Tunes - sorry Terry).
For comments on local hotels read the posts on the first two Cape Cod piano parties.
nb. Woodfab ask for a tour of my (wood)shop.
Ed

Always love a Wood-Shop

Sharon and I will be traveling to Portland that week and would like to attend the Saturday evening festivities with two friends in tow, if that's OK.

Hey Steve, that's great, glad to hear you'll be in the area.

See you at the party.

How great! a PW Forum gathering close to home ... very close: I live in Brewster. I'd love to be there.

Richard

Great, see you there Richard.

are dogs allowed? :o)

All the hosts have pets (dogs & cats) and they will be around, but to be fair this is a piano party. If you feel you must bring your dog be prepared to leave him in the car (it should be cool enough in October) or outside on a leash - we will be happy to provide shade and water.
