Every year the Dunster Museum has a musical celebration when they open for the season. Last Sunday afternoon was this year’s Museum opening. Like last year, they invited our Tuesday Night Jam to do a session, and the photo above, shows us in action.
The Dunster Museum is located right across the road from the Dunster store (which is Dunster). The old Dunster Railway Station which is now the museum, is, as you might expect, situated right beside the railroad track, and as we were performing, a Via Passenger Train came loudly down the track, and slowed to a stop at the Station to allow the passengers to view the festivities.
As we continued playing our songs, I imaged what those passengers must have thought of the gathering, probably something like, “Oh, what a quaint little cultural festival the mountain villagers are putting on. They probably gather around the railway station and play music every Sunday afternoon.”
It was funny to realize that what they were thinking, was exactly what I start thinking, whenever I come across something similar in a foreign country.
Anyway, the train soon went on its way, but the music continued.
Locals, Jane and Keith performed on their alpine horns, although without the mountain echos. That was followed by a rhythmic beats of a drum circle. It was all an enjoyable afternoon in the hamlet of Dunster.
