Nymbol does Port Townsend




I could go on about how we are so thankful to everyone and how awesome everyone was (because they are) but I would rather frame it in a story.
Nymbol's Secret Island is now a travelling show. We can say that because,....we went somewhere. There was much excitement along the way but there is one moment that sums up our trip in my mind. I will condense the little video I shot and put that up soon but it is this. At the beginning of the second half of the show Junior Goblin comes out and starts to dance around with Oakie the tree elf. When we did the show at WICA we used a good but rough recording of Rob creating his magic with a song that defies description. This night Rob is banging on an upright piano that looks like it forgot to dress for the occasion. Peggy is up on stage playing the accordian and doing her best and cutest chipmunk impression. As the song winds up there are smiles all around and I am sure most folks had no idea of the brilliance they were witnessing. The boys run around stage and it is over. One moment caught on a crappy camera that will make me smile forever. Trekking back the day before we have just arrived at the hall and asked if we can drag out that piano from the basement they said we can use.
"What Piano, I don't think we have a piano."
"Oh,...that piano, I don't know how the hell your going to get it up here!"
"Wait, lets ask Frank(?) if you can use it."
"That thing needs to get outta here!" says Frank.
"you want a piano,....it's yours if you if you can haul it away!"

"Yes!" says I.

25 minutes later most of the male members of Nymbol's crew are pushing the Piano up a near verticle ramp and onto the stage. 27 minutes later Rob is taking bits off the Piano and laying on the floor creating "Bee-youuuuutafull music"

At the end of the show we rolled the piano down the ramp and into the back of the Trailer. Nymbol's now has a very appropriate piano and we all have memories of a magical moment in time.

Hope to share some more soon.
