kirkwood 4th of july parade 2023

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. 🤣

The Fourth of July flag has been selected and installed in front of the house.

stars and stripes forever

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.

I put my flag out again this year for Fourth of July.
