I came this close to just canceling when a fellow musician emailed and said not to and that she would be there to play with me. The power of one just became the power of two.

We got there and played for a little while when others started to trickle in, one by one by one. Now all of a sudden, we had ourselves a nice little session. I guess it’s just another reminder that there really is power in one.
