Last Thursday I played my recital in the concert hall of the León Conservatory. It has been very special to me to play Liszt on my way to Santiago! During the trip we invited fellow-Camino-goers. There were 6 at the recital. That was enough to me. Local advertisement the last 24 hours brought...
Good morning!
This is my final and complete announcement.
Tomorrow, Thursday 17, I will play my piano recital, a so called 'Pilgrim's Play' in the León Conservatory, Calle de Santa Nonia 11. Time: 12 h.

As far as I know now, my concert, call it a Pilgrim's...
We are on schedule now. Yesterday we reached Dax and today was my piano practice day, in the local music shop.
The date of the 'Pilgrim's play' in León has been confirmed, Thursday July 17, exact time and place will be announced asap. Come, come! Venez nombreux!

Now I will play this...
My wife, Joke, and I will start next Friday in Poitiers. We want to arrive in SdC on July 26.
Are there more cyclists on their way, reading this forum, during this period?
