Summer Sundays - Remembered
July 12 August 16 September 20
July 12 August 16 September 20
#3 Our final Summer Sunday, sneeking in before the official autumn season,was sunny in more ways than onefor us all on September 20. Again, players stepped up to play for everyone - recorder & guitar and a lovely suite for three.
#2 We beat the heat of August 16 under umbrellas, canopies and
awnings -amidst cherries, corn, beans and colourful posies. Best
of all, though were the dozen players! This time we heard a
regular trio, our rockin' classical guitar/recorder duo, & then
Dorothy previewed her upcoming concert, which included a
humming bird piece on the tiny garklein recorder! As in July, we
played some rounds to keep us deeper in tune with each other!

#1 Our first Sunday event was July 13 and seemed akin to a folk festival, as recorders were joined by guitars, banjos and a tenor tin whistle. The setting was park-like in a backyard graced with a patio/stage, under an umbrella! Dorothy debuted her own compositions and we all played some recorder canons to ensure harmony for and by everyone!
Many thanks to the organizers, hosts, round leaders, performers and out-of-towners.
