While we waited on the mechanics, the captain came back into the cabin, pulled out his guitar and harmonica and performed for nearly an hour while we drank ice water served by the FA's.
I think I've flown with the harmonica playing pilot. Leaving ONT on the 6:50 a.m. flight, he walked throught the cabin, greeted every first class passenger and it sounded like he randomly greeted people in the back. The while the plane was being pushed back, he played a few bars on his harmonica before telling us the route.
The whole flight was a delight; the FA in the forward cabin greeted every passenger by name. Sure she used her list, but it was still a nice gesture.
I sent a compliment in to Beth S. about that flight.
