thanks for stopping, Elizabeth, and I hope your grandson got a little glimpse of how to convert spirit into musicianship, or vice versa. You really need both in equal proportions to make it work.

This tweaked happy memories of playing piccolo in my high school’s marching band. I’m sending a link to my 14 year old grandson, Alex, who is starting high school in a few weeks. Tate High (Pensacola) has a great rep, and he is happy to be joining the marching band’s percussion section. He’ll also be in the jazz band (saxophone) — there’s guitar in there somewhere, and some other instruments, including piano. If he sees this comment, I’m sure he’ll set me straight wherever I’m wrong! p.s. I listened to the drumline cadence, too! Sets a great tone for the day.

Well, I got images in my head of a much warmer and sunnier time, and these songs are so cheering on this horrendously rainy night!
(My clarinet is all fixed, just have to go pick it up…)
