In celebration of Lisa, the owner of an upscale antique store in Orange County, her husband JT hired Vaughn Fahie (pronounced Foy) Jazz to provide the music for his wife’s surprise birthday party. Guests gathered in the back parking lot in preparation for their surprise entrance. As Vaughn parked, they began to cheer and share with other guests how beautifully he played at Lisa’s Christmas party a week before. Seamlessly occurring according to plan, Vaughn entered through the front door playing “Happy Birthday” on his alto sax as JT followed behind him.  Lisa was astonished and elated to hear the melodious sound she recognized from her Christmas party. She embraced her husband; her head rested over his shoulder in sincere appreciation. As the couple hugged, the train of party guests entered from the back of the store to surprise Lisa from behind. Vaughn then set up in the back of the store to provide ambient jazz for the remainder of the evening. Guests continued to rave about how Vaughn had once again “made the party.”
