Jerry's hands were obviously shaking with patriotic fervor as he took this picture of Westmoreland Town Band playing at Historic Deerfield on July 4th.
We're in the middle of the concert season, this year down to about 15 from the high of 25 a couple of years ago. Over the years we've played at nursing homes and on the Commons of small towns. We've played for the opening of a covered bridge and for many town Old Home Days and barbecues. The weirdest concert was background music for a cowflop contest a few years ago.
Last night was a nursing home gig, outside in (finally) pleasant weather. Between numbers a bird in the tree above us sang loudly, perhaps in competition, perhaps to cover the pauses while we shuffled through music, or perhaps just because it was a beautiful evening that simply needed more music to complete it.
