Terrific! BRAVO!
Hurrah!
Well that was great! What a treat! Now, if only my brother would SMILE while playing (I guess it takes too much concentration...). I'm spreading that around - hope you don't mind. What kind of bird was the lady on the guitar playing to, and what were the "pop-up" kids shouting - "Watertown"? More! I want More!!! Gracie from Santa Fe
Glad you liked it! I can't remember what kind of bird it is, but loved its presence! And as for the pop-ups, that was BFS co-founder Tom F on mandolin; his wife, BFS co-founder Annadeene F, and their child were singing the "Over the Waterfall" chorus... with silly props!
Wonderful community band! The tunes are Over the Waterfall and Liberty.
Thanks, David!
Well done BFS All Comers Band!
Thanks Katy! Glad we are a CDSS affiliate!
Simply beautiful !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
