Thank you, Ed. What memories. Beginning in my late teens and through my 20s I played trumpet with small "combos" in places like The Barn. In the Midwest, every town had a place like Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. Beautiful memories of a time gone by. Thanks again.

Yes, and everywhere we turned, there was music we could understand, and lyrics that were poetic.

"Let the rain pitter patter, but it really doesn't matter if the sky should fall. As long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day."

Maybe in your next life you'll be the one behind the drum set inspiring some youthful musician to ask his dad for a snare drum. I hope he fares better than you did. That being said, you are a maestro with your set of medical instruments that has brought happiness to so many others.

You are kind, Larry. I would have had an avoction. By the way, the drum was $10,and my Dad simply didn't have the money

Bristol such a lovely place with water flowing all around and some very nice places to dine. Now music that will get you rocking makes for a festive evening. The residents I'm sure were pleased it was out at the farm. A lovely place to have it. Cocktail waitresses. OH BOY!
