Today's photo comes from Steve and here's what he has to say about it:
-----------
This one was from Memorial Day 1961 and was the Junior High Band out in front of the main driveway to the school. The front row is (L to R) Mr. Vorberg (who was only there for a year, I think -- it was Ed Turner's band at the end of the day), Lee Johnson, Greg Batchelder, me (Steve Sewell), and Paul Slocum, and I can't make out who was in the rear rows.
===========
I didn't play a musical instrument in high school - big mistake I realize now - but it didn't fit and I thought I didn't have much musical talent.
So, when I turned 50, I said I three goals: Become fluent in a foreign language, publish one of my novels & learn to play an instrument - any instrument.
Well, I can get by in Spanish ok. My French won't get me the best table in Toulouse, but it's functional. One novel is ready to go if I can find a publisher. And the music? Well, I have an Ipod and download a lot, if that counts.
I tried to learn to play a keyboard some years ago and gave up, eventually giving the keyboard to my granddaughter who isn't too inspired yet to learn it. But she's only seven years old.
So here's today's tune, dedicated to the band:
Artist: Wings Lyrics
'Band on the Run'
Stuck Inside These Four Walls, Sent Inside Forever,
Never Seeing No One Nice Again Like You,
Mama You, Mama You.
If I Ever Get Out Of Here,
Thought Of Giving It All Away
To A Registered Charity.
All I Need Is A Pint A Day
If I Ever Get Out Of Here.
Well, The Rain Exploded With A Mighty Crash As We Fell Into The Sun,
And The First One Said To The Second One There I Hope You're Having Fun.
Band On The Run, Band On The Run.
And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam Were Searching Every One
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, The Undertaker Drew A Heavy Sigh Seeing No One Else Had Come,
And A Bell Was Ringing In The Village Square for the rabbits on the run.
Band On The Run, Band On The Run.
And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam, were searching every one
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, The Night Was Falling As The Desert World began To Settle Down.
In The Town They're Searching For Us Every Where, but We Never W Ill Be Found.
Band on the run, Band on the run
And The County Judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
'Band on the Run'
Stuck Inside These Four Walls, Sent Inside Forever,
Never Seeing No One Nice Again Like You,
Mama You, Mama You.
If I Ever Get Out Of Here,
Thought Of Giving It All Away
To A Registered Charity.
All I Need Is A Pint A Day
If I Ever Get Out Of Here.
Well, The Rain Exploded With A Mighty Crash As We Fell Into The Sun,
And The First One Said To The Second One There I Hope You're Having Fun.
Band On The Run, Band On The Run.
And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam Were Searching Every One
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, The Undertaker Drew A Heavy Sigh Seeing No One Else Had Come,
And A Bell Was Ringing In The Village Square for the rabbits on the run.
Band On The Run, Band On The Run.
And The Jailer Man And Sailor Sam, were searching every one
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, The Night Was Falling As The Desert World began To Settle Down.
In The Town They're Searching For Us Every Where, but We Never W Ill Be Found.
Band on the run, Band on the run
And The County Judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run, Band on the run
