I delved even further back into my archives to find these musical memories.
I went so far back the photos weren’t even scanned into my computer. I also had to figure out how to use the scan to file feature on my new printer, not having used it before.
For more of this weeks PhotoHunt pictures check out Whistlestop PhotoHunt.
Creative play! Looks like you could easily have combined both Gattina’s and Sandi’s Photo Hunt themes for this week, Cherie.
I do feel a bit bad about not doing both, as many people are doing. But my brain can only cope with one at a time
A blast from the past in more ways than one!
Yes the past is a blast
Jams is funny~ a Blast from the past
Thanks for Playing The Saturday PhotoHunt.
“…musical memories.”
So you were in the school orchestra then CherryP?
What was your instrument?
Or, are going to say that you were the ’school photographer’ and took pictures for the school magazine?
I love the little boy with the tuba – he can’t be strong enough to hold that up – surely?
Yes I was in the school orchestra and I sang in the choir
I played the clarinet in the orchestra, that is me in the second photo with my brother playing the Tuba and in the background is my Dad. My brother started off on the Euphonium, but they needed Tuba players and he was chosen to make the transition.
I started of with the recorder and later made and played bamboo pipes. That is me second from the left in the first photo with the not quite bamboo pipe. It is difficult to get bamboo big enough to make a base pipe, so it is made out of aluminium with a wooden collar and cork to make the mouthpiece.
Wonderful.
I should have looked at the ‘tags’ to see ‘family’ and ‘me’.
It’s nice to have all these early photos and important to document them. I am still wading through loads of mine.
I love old photographs
I use to play the violin. But it been a while.
Coffee is on.
My grandfather played the violin, that is where I inheritated my interest in music
Wonderful. I can almost hear the music.
Thank you
Photo 1: 1st left, that young lass looks kinda familiar!
I am on that photo, but I am not 1st left
Ha…. Must be the 2nd left then!
Is that your twin sister?
Yes I am second left
We are not related but we do look rather alike. Or rather we did way back then
That ‘bamboo’ pipe looks mostly aluminium!
How very talented you are, and how nice to be able to play together as a family.
It was mostly aluminium, couldn’t get bamboo big enough. It was lovely to be able to play together
