🎵 Notes from December 3, 2023 meetup

Mother Nature threatened the session, but in the end everyone was still able to make it to Natalie's.  It was another full house, and only a week after the last one!  An excellent variety was played, some familiar and others not, from Baroque to more modern with some traditional and seasonal pieces tossed in for good measure.
