Sings the Blues

 

This  panel is larger than the other music panels that Jim has made. It makes me think of The Blues and the movie Lady Sings the Blues.

Treble Clef

Does this picture bother you?  It bothers me and it should bother you also.  If you look at a piece of music you will see that the treble clef does not look quite like this.  But no worries it's ok.  When he took the picture he was looking at the back.  So when it is hung correctly, the clef will be right.  I know I can rotate pictures but I don't think there is a way to flip something.

My community band will be performing a patriotic concert this Thursday in Sun City Center.  Then we get the month of July off for a little break.

July 4

Happy 4th of July.  I promised I would tell you what instrument I play today.  Well, I play two different instruments.  On Wednesday night, I play clarinet in the Tampa Community Band.  Thursday nights, I play bass clarinet with the East Hillsborough Community Band.

I bought this stamp at a stamp festival I attended earlier this year.  The treble clef is embossed in gold.  The music notes were left from what I punched out of the other music cards I posted earlier this month.

The Second Patriotic Concert

You may think you have seen this card before back on June 23.  If you look close you will see there is a small difference.  Tonight is our second patriotic concert that my community band is playing.  It is the same program just in a different venue about 20 miles away.  Wonder what instrument I play?  I will let you know on July 4 so check back.

Patriotic Concert

Every year around the July 4th holiday, the community band I play in on Thursday has a patriotic concert.  It is our best attended concert of the year.  Tonight is the first of two patriotic concerts that we will play this year.  The theme for this year is Sousa.  We won't be playing just Sousa but quite a few.  Of course Stars and Stripes will be one of the songs we play.  Did you know that it is the national march?

Oh and the card, the punch is EK Success that I got at Walmart online.

Band BBQ

I have had two weeks off from community band practice for my Thursday night band.  We return to practice today but only for a short time.  We are going to have a welcome back BBQ.  I sure hope it is good BBQ with some slaw and tea to drink. 

Get Well Patty

One of my SILs fell the other night and broke her shoulder. She had surgery and is all fixed up now with metal. Of course she is still in pain and has a long road of rehab ahead of her after it heals. Hope she heals quickly.
