Since the late 1600's, pachelbels cannon has been a hit. Whatever the occasion and wherever the event, it was, and is still, a popular piece of contemporary music. Even today its a tune that most people know and can hum (I'm referring to brides here) even if they dont know the name of it. This single piece of music has stood out in my life since as the first piece I played whilst busking on winthrope street in the early 90's and the first piece I played at my first wedding, which has since propelled me into an amateur (mercenary) musical career.
This week I have beaten my personal best for the amount of gigs per week: from monday - sunday I have 13 gigs (29 hours not including rehersals and a 9-5 day job). I will be playing pachelbels canon at 6 different venues this weekend. If I had a penny for every time.......
