And the band plays on

It's Christmastide and we are busy. Even so, as Grandpa plays clarinet with the Cortland Community Band, when duty calls he grabs his horn and we head for the concert hall or a lawn or the back of a truck or somewhere. This video was taken at the Shepherd of the Valley Retirement Community (spinoff of the place where Great-G&G Seagle lived) and starts off with a sweet solo of Grandpa on the clarinet. Have your fingers ready to poke into your ears, though, as I had to stand behind the band to film and, unfortunately the acoustics were mamahuhu (that's Chinese for so-so or mediocre) and my cameraship is not exactly exemplary. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the collection of snapshots from many concerts, the solo and sort of pretend the most of the music didn't happen. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Love you all! Grandma for both of us
