TRUMPET IN THE BASEMENT

I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I attended a fundraiser for Artica at the William A. Kerr Foundation. There were to be performances but no schedule was published. It was wrapping up when I arrived. There was the sound of a trumpet coming from the basement. I went down and found one last musician.                    

A MAN WITH A HORN

Moon Valley has at least six members who can perform in smaller groups. There were three playing on Sunday evening. I think this is Ryan Bouma, but those involved should correct me if I’m wrong.

The photo technique here is an iPhone camera app called TinType, that replicates old fuzzy images that were printed on small metal plates. Fun, and cheap - US$ 1.        

That Lady Has A Hot Embouchure

I'm out of touch with so much in my community. I work, work some more, take pictures, edit pictures, tend the blog, have dinner with my wife and fall asleep. Barely use Facebook and have no interest in Twitter. So I can get disconnected.

Fortunately, Mrs. C is just the opposite. She keeps me in the loop. Carolyn told me that there was a series of Wednesday lunch time concerts in Citygarden. Who knew? Today's main performer was Dawn Webber, one of the hottest trumpeters in town. We've heard her before. The performance was terrific, a perfect way to break up an overloaded morning and overwhelming afternoon at the office.
