kirkwood 4th of july parade 2023

Posted on July 4, 2023 by | 3 comments

My spouse and I went to the annual Kirkwood 4th of July Parade. It’s a small neighborhood parade going on since 1949. 🇺🇸🎆

Nobody noticed that I had a Soviet t-shirt on. 🤣

A selection of flags is available for flying for the 4th of July. The Cuban one is too small. The others are normal size, so it will be one of those. Details of the selection later.

Available flags folded into triangles on the sofa

2020 Kirkwood Independence Day Parade

Posted on July 4, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Here is the 2020 Kirkwood Independence Day Parade. The parade participants outnumbered the spectators. It seems to lean Republican, usually not this much, but this is a “special” year. You can assess the candidates all by yourself.

The White House cap is a decoy. 😁

Bottles of hand sanitizer were being handed out, which we were pleased to get. The bottle has that “lube” shape. Can I get ya a popper to go with it? 🎉

stars and stripes forever

Posted on July 4, 2020 by | Leave a comment

If you want some Stars and Stripes Forever, here is one recorded in Ireland and released today. Brian knows one of the performers.

I used to enjoy playing this in jr. high and high-school band. By high school, I was playing mostly bass clarinet. This piece was upper register for it. It made the instrument sing and feel good in the hands.
