I played the violin and my sister the piano when were growing up. We weren't very good, just good enough to play at the Christmas concert for the Legion Hall every year. The old veteran's were usually too drunk to be discriminating and it made my father very proud, so we ( and they) suffered through it. Every Christmas thereafter, as adults, my sis and I would recall the concerts and laugh ourselves silly over the memories. O Holy Night....egads.

The Osmonds did that too. <br /><br />Like Postcardy, I am always surprised to see the girls playing trumpets and drums. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. When I was in high school, the boys played those instruments while the girls played the flutes, clarinets, and French horns. When one girl in my class started playing the trumpet, it was viewed as some kind of victory, a real honor, rather akin to a girl earning a spot on a baseball team.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-45170187852331448372016-01-23T14:33:35.279-05:002016-01-23T14:33:35.279-05:00The little boy in the sailor suit without any inst...The little boy in the sailor suit without any instrument in the first photo looks quite disgruntled.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-84753591696737677242016-01-23T10:20:47.725-05:002016-01-23T10:20:47.725-05:00I enjoyed seeing all these musical familiesI enjoyed seeing all these musical familiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-70868828830283853552016-01-23T08:43:38.154-05:002016-01-23T08:43:38.154-05:00I am surprised qand interested to see so many girl...I am surprised qand interested to see so many girls playing trumpets.

I know one family in Switzerland they have become quite famous. https://youtu.be/Dd7VNAVYOxA<br /><br />The postcard from A.Z. is not easy to read as it is still written in the old German alphabet.<br />He was a sailor as it says "Matrose" ... Many of this photos are from the eastern part of Germany. In Russia in the communistic time, not all was bad, as nearly in every home was a Piano. Women in aprons and market baskets would go to listen to Tschaikovsky..Beethoven etc. performed by the big state Orchestras.<br />Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-47681481950858425442016-01-22T23:22:27.247-05:002016-01-22T23:22:27.247-05:00Another interesting post!

I learnt that his father played the harmonica and accordion.............so your post has revealed more information for my personal family history research notes!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.com
