Grayson Masefield at the Blind Club and Happy Birthdays - New Zealandby Heather Masefield |
 Grayson Masefield, home in Auckland for Christmas, has been returning to perform for the clubs and other organizations that supported him when he was an up and coming player. On 6th December, Grayson Masefield performed at the local Blind Club where he has played many times before. Imagine, after Grayson had played a major Bach work, a halt was put to the concert and he played a surprise ‘Happy Birthday’ to the 107!!! - yes 107 year old lady in the front row. The birthday lady walked unsteadily to the birthday cake and cut it to another rousing chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’, and in her speech, joked that the reason for her longevity was that she just "kept breathing!". The formal concert then continued! Another versatile performance! Two days earlier was the less formal Happy Birthday for Grayson's grandmother Marie Jones (picture lower right), former New Zealand Accordion Association (NZAA) Secretary for nearly 30 years. The family were celebrating her 83rd birthday, also to the accompaniment of the accordion with Grayson and his uncle Maurice Jones playing Happy Birthday while the family all sang along. |
