The event started on the dot. The soundman finally showed up 15 minutes before the downbeat. The house band played one song as a warm up. Originally they were to play three but the organizer was worried because the club was already packed and restless. Ron played some of the favorites the fans had voted on in member polls held months earlier. Although many of the fans were familiar with the tunes they had never seen the penny whistle and some of the other exotic flutes played before. Ron Played one flute duet to the piece "Courtship Song" with an ocarina player who had studied in the Ukraine.
