Blast #5 mentioned the loss of a lot of film. Which puts the date of this next album into question. This is an album of pictures from a college choir concert at Houghton my senior year. That would make it either the Homecoming concert right after the tour, or the Parent's concert of graduation weekend. Something … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #6 — Which concert?
These pictures should be in a binder album all their own, with a numbered table of contents in the front describing each of the pictures and naming everyone in them. But they aren't. These pictures are from the College Choir tour my senior year. All three previous yeas I had taken pictures just as described … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #5 — the truncated album
This song seemed familiar, but there are a couple of places where it isn’t quite familiar. And then I realized – it is “for he’s a jolly good fellow” – almost anyway. By pedigree they share the same tune, technically. 1 We’re all met here together, We’re all met here together, We’re all met here … Continue reading We Won’t go Home Till Morning
Okay, Here's another blast of past photos. It shows an interesting start to a certain pastime of mine. These are pictures of Homecoming from my senior year at Houghton College. The theme that year was obviously some sort of Renaissance Theme. Now, I noticed in the pictures that the college madrigal singers had been brought … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #4 — Renaissance Man
The Contemporary Life Class of the Avondale United Methodist Church sponsored its annual Palm Sunday Brunch fundraiser on Palm Sunday from 9 a.m.-12:45 p.m. As a regular attender, I have come to look forward to this annual event, both for food and fellowship. The fare of sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit, and a hearty assortment … Continue reading Palm Sunday Brunch at AUMC
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Praise our God, all ye His servant, Ye that fear Him, small and great; With a sacrifice of worship In His glorious presence wait. Refrain Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia – Praise our God! 2 Praise our God, all … Continue reading #7: Praise Our God
More photos from my college days. Birthday photos. The question is which birthday? Do these photos come from the same birthday or different birthdays? You see, my birthday always fell right around the end of the second semester, usually in the break between the end of semester and finals week. So according to these pictures, … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #3 — Can You Count
Yesterday I featured photos from a 23-year-old photo album. They were from my wife's photo album, events I didn't experience. Today I started on an album from my own life. These pictures come from my original college days about 28 years ago. They were an assortment of events. And though I had experienced them all, … Continue reading A Blast of the Past — my past this time
Earlier this week I started a project I have been intending to work on for quite some time. It will take quite awhile to finish. That project is scanning all our non-digital photos into the computer. Part of the length of the project is going to be how many photos we have. Another part is … Continue reading A Blast of the Past — someone else’s past
This song has the musical notation of “andante” at the beginning, which I read as a slower speed, but to my ear it feels like it should have a more rollicking tavern-song tempo. The introduction has a lot of octaves in it with a lot of octave jumps, so I tend to play the into … Continue reading There is a Tavern in the Town
