A noontime concert of solo saxophone by Nicole Johänntgen

Last week, I learned my friend Roli Frei would be performing at the Theater Basel Foyer at noon today. As my Spanish lesson takes place there on Tuesdays from 11 am to noon, I was looking forward to hearing Roli play. But yesterday, I heard that the concert had been called off because Roli was ill (get well soon, Roli!). This morning, I learned from a Facebook post of his that saxophonist Nicole Johänntgen would be replacing him, but then I forgot about that. Then, when I was in the bathroom after my Spanish lesson, I heard a saxophone, remembered Nicole was playing, and stayed to enjoy her non-stop forty-minute performance. (Andrew Shields, #111words, 7 January 2025)
