The bands and marchers hardly get a mention. The recorder is my other instrument, renaissance and baroque. Never tried playing it while marching.

I was also struck by Mrs. Morrison's participation. I attended a similar parade a couple of years ago in the upstate New York town where my dad was born, and they also honored two senior residents -- a nice change from focusing only on the young participants :-)Molly's Canopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571003887840906315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-43478102013968331952017-10-28T16:26:23.611-07:002017-10-28T16:26:23.611-07:00Yes, I'm not a Royalist and wouldn't go o...Yes, I'm not a Royalist and wouldn't go out of my way to see her these days.

Unfortunately all the violins were taken by the time I asked about playing something, so I was assigned a cello. Well, I lived 5 blocks from school & I walked those 5 blocks to & from school & carrying that cello back & forth was no picnic, so I gave up joining the orchestra and decided to join the all-school chorus instead. Much easier to tote vocal chords around!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
