A New Tradition Begins With a Concert in the Hospital
There has been a city band in my little town for the past 159 years. We are kind of big on traditions around here. Now a new tradition has begun. Our little town, in addition to having a city band, how has its own city orchestra. They had their first performance last night inside the atrium at our local hospital. It was a magnificent concert. As you probably have guessed, my son playing his upright bass was a part of that orchestra. His girlfriend and her violin were also a part of it.
Some of you who have been reading this blog for a while may remember the pictures I showed you of the outside renovations done to the hospital. I don't think I've had pictures on here of the inside of the hospital though. It really is quite nicely done inside. The atrium is especially beautiful.
This picture shows the orchestra performing in the atrium. We are on the third floor looking down from the open balcony on the inside of the building.
This next picture shows what the inner balconies look like.
My son is down there playing his bass. Can you see him on the right there? This picture shows the giant tree mural in the center of the atrium in front of where they are playing.
This is my son with his bass.
He's busy playing music in this next one. I really like this picture. The concert was wonderful. The musicians did a great job.
This is a water wall that is behind the atrium on the other side of the building. I think it is really pretty.
We were surprised to see the front page of the paper tonight. Look who made the news! He laughed when we showed him the paper. He said that the mother of the boy he has been tutoring on the bass this summer is a photographer for our local newspaper. Yes, we do live in a small town, don't we.
As you can see, I'm taking pictures again. My husband had enough points from his frequent traveler's plan to turn in for a gift certificate at Best Buy. With that he was able to cover most of the cost of an inexpensive point and shoot camera for us. I'll try not to drop this one, and maybe, eventually, we will buy one that has more features. In the meantime, this one will work just fine.
