It is a film of cut-aways and in-jokes shot by the company for the employee's pleasure. It features many shots of the Amaizo Band marching and performing inside and outside of the impressive Daly Hall. The stout fellow with the tuba behind Mr. Mays can be seen in the film mugging good-naturedly for the camera. <br /><br />Pity there was no sound! <br /><br />And, as you mention, the grounds of the company are quite nice.The employees seem happy and the grounds are park-like. <br /><br />I am very grateful for your research. It's a real thrill to be able to place a few names on the enchanting faces from so long ago.Ondrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427862997307091219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-10215658276397586842016-05-17T07:24:54.530-04:002016-05-17T07:24:54.530-04:00"Cookie's Gingersnaps" sounds more l..."Cookie's Gingersnaps" sounds more like a dance troupe of pre-teen girls. Good move on upgrading their show name! Mr. Daly would be right at home in any company today because of his obvious views that happy employees are more productive. Mr. Daly, Mr. Mays, Doc Cooke - all very impressive men.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-70748249986839736602016-05-16T22:05:06.737-04:002016-05-16T22:05:06.737-04:00"Seventy-six trombones led the big parade...&..."Seventy-six trombones led the big parade..." If you're in front of them & they're not far enough back, it could spell a bit of trouble. Reminds me of singing "Carmina Burana" with a 120-member chorus and a 90-piece orchestra all squeezed onto one extended stage. I was in a line of sopranos standing directly behind a line of cellists and we were constantly dodging their bows. Somehow I kept my place in my music, but it wasn't easy with those bows constantly coming at me! :) La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-53213136805528419192016-05-16T09:38:06.734-04:002016-05-16T09:38:06.734-04:00Well, reading that review was depressing.

The drivel reminds me of a particular presidential candidate who says such disgraceful things and somehow never hears what he says. It's as if these people were born without the ability to edit before speaking.<br /><br />And why don't we hear the word syncopation anymore? I love that word. I know there's going to be some fine toe taping music that'll have me up dancing immediately.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.com
