Answer 1

This is a 1961 photo taken from my husband's high school junior year yearbook. Both he and his friend Ronald are pushing a car with their trombone cases in hand. Both of them still are great friends. Ronald flew a helicopter for the Tulsa Police, and my husband, on the right, flew a helicopter in Vietnam.

Comments

Another amazing photo Alexis gorgeous photo of your husband thank you for sharing

---

Thank you Susan for your sweet comment. My husband sent this link to WikiTree to his friend this morning.

---

Great photo, as usual, Alexis! And great ad for the local service station. Thanks for sharing it.

---

Robin, thank you for your nice comment. Those were the days when we had service stations that not only pumped the gas, but they also checked tires, washed windshields, gave us stamps, dishes, flatware and candy for children.

---

Sounds good to me, Alexis. I vote that we bring back those days!

---

What a fun photo of your husband and his friend, Alexis! Gave me a chuckle. Thanks for sharing it. Thank you to your husband for his service. I'm glad he made it back. It's so great that he and Ronald are still good friends. That is a long-term friendship!

@Robin: If we're going to bring back service stations (I'm in favor!), can we also bring back 20 cent a gallon gas while we're at it?

---

Thank you for your comment Lloyd. My husband actually remembered the photo in his annual.

---

Brings back memories of writing in the yearbook, Alexis.......but, more so, the two times we coasted into the gas station with both tanks, in our truck, empty.

---

So funny John, I can remember those times too. Thanks for you comment.

Answer 2

My daughter, Rachael, at her big brother's High School Band performance in Woodbridge, Virginia. The school mascot was the Vikings, and this picture made it into the local newspaper. Today, Rachael is a composer and Graduate Teaching Assistant in Music at the University of Wyoming in Laramie.

Comments

Bryan, thank you for sharing such a cute photo of your beautiful daughter, no wonder it was in the newspaper. Glad to know that she is enjoying a career in music.

---

Thank you, Bryan, for this photo of your lovely daughter. I think I remember "meeting" her and her brother in an earlier photo. It sounds as if she has a wonderful career.

---

Great Viking photo, Bryan.  Looks like Rachael has beauty, brains and talent, an excellent combination.

---

@Robin, You've got a good memory, Robin. I did introduce my two children in the Vacation Challenge. We were at the Grand Canyon.

@Pat, very kind of you and I have to agree, she gets beauty brains and talent from Tammy. She just gets a little money from me.

---

What a fantastic photo of your beautiful daughter, Bryan! Thank you for sharing it. Sounds like she is putting her talent to good use. Good for her.

I wonder... are there vikings in Wyoming?

---

Is the t-shirt Rachael has on in this photo from that trip?

---

Very astute observation, Robin. We did get her that T-shirt on  the trip to the Canyon I'm waiting for some one to mention her hair malfunction. And as far as I know,there's only cowboys and sodbusters in Wyoming.

---

Thank you Bryan for sharing this wonderful photo of your daughter

---

It took me a moment, Bryan, to spot the hair malfunction.......but which side is it?  

Answer 3

For today's theme, I got hold of a photo of my father, taken around 1960. At that time my father was a policeman in Bad Segeberg, district of Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein. He is the policeman with the white cap on the back right of the picture.
At that time, as today, parades through the town, as the youth marching band had done here as part of a larger parade, were accompanied by policemen for traffic protection.
After the procession, the marching band had a souvenir photo taken with "their" policeman.

Comments

Thank you Dieter for sharing such a great photo. The boys are adorable, and your father looks very handsome in his uniform also.

---

Thank you Dieter for sharing this wonderful photo

---

Wonderful photo and story, Dieter. Thank you for sharing it. It makes a nice reminiscence.

---

I see a lot of flutes and a lot of drums, Dieter, in this band, making me think of early American bands, fife and drum. It's a lovely picture.

---

How great that the band included "their" policeman in the photo! Thanks, as always, for the great background information, Dieter.

---

Thankyou, Dieter, for the interesting photo.

Answer 4

When I saw the topic for this week's photo sharing theme, I knew this was the only picture I have that involves anything musical. The piano is my grandmother's Steinway grand, my dad inherited it after she died in 1979. Various generations of kids in my family have played under the piano, they seem to like the somewhat enclosed space. This picture was taken at Thanksgiving in 2011. These kids are cousins, the two on the right are twins, they are the first cousins once removed of the one on the left. There is 5 months age difference between them. 

Comments

so cute.

---

Sweet photo, M. Thank you for it and the story that goes with it.

---

The way the three kids are arranged on the bench makes for a great photo. Thanks for sharing it, and for the background information. Interesting how generations fall sometimes, that give you kids and grandkids (or whatever the specifics are) that are the same age.

---

The one on the left is my grandson, the twins are a niece and nephew, my youngest siblings children.

---

I couldn't help but notice, M, your grandson surveying the situation......and I can't resist him saying, "Altogether now, one, two, three!"

---

They have a great time together.

Answer 5

My grandfather fits your challenge.  http://wikitree.com/wiki/Miller-56462.  Charles Reuben Miller, sometimes Charlie, sometimes Chas, was a decorator by trade and also a paid musician.  He first became a band leader on July 30, 1886 at age 16.  He played solo cornet for the Citizens Own Band, of Owen Sound, Grey County, Ontario, Canada, and when the old leader left the 13-member band they elected Charlie leader.  It was the era of the marching band, every community across North America had them. Charlie played other instruments, like the violin, wrote music, played in other bands (Miller Orchestra). He had a sense of humor.  He invented an instrument with electric buzzers that struck glasses and played it at one event.  A newspaper report said it was a big hit with the audience and they asked what he called it.  Charlie said it was a WONKIFIMAD (spell it backwards). Here's a photo of Charlie with his cornet, 1886.

Comments

Amazing photo Pat, of your grandfather

Thank you for sharing

---

Thanks, Susan.  I appreciate your interest.

---

What a great old photo, Pat! Thanks for sharing it, and for sharing the life of your grandfather. What a talented man! Obviously had a great sense of humor, too. I enjoyed reading his bio on his profile page.

---

Thanks, Lloyd, for your comments and taking the time to check out Charlie. I wish he lived longer.  I would have loved to meet him.

---

Thank you Pat for sharing such a fabulous photo and story about your grandfather, He certainly was an amazing man. Yes, I had to write it backwards—what a great sense of humor.

---

Thank you, Alexis, for your most generous praise.  If he had been in a photographer's studio the picture would have been better but this is an 1886 snapshot in his parents' living room taken by his father?, a fellow band member? I just don't know.  I'm grateful of course.

---

Reminds me, Pat, of when starting grade 7, my friend, in grade 8 band class, got a trumpet mouthpiece......I asked for one too, but went on to other things while waiting for the rest of the trumpet.

---

Thanks John, so did you play the trumpet or did the rest of the instrument not come?

Answer 6

This photo of my late ex husband, Clarence Donald Pinegar Jr when he was in high school so photo was probably taken between 1971-1973, he could not read music but played guitar by ear , he could play just about any type of music even composed a few songs

 

Comments

The guitar, probably my favorite instrument to listen to, Janine......for the last year or so I have been watching closely how it is played.

Answer 7

I have chosen this photo taken in 1967 of my husband (second from right) as Ralph Rackstraw in Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore for the Kettering G&S Society. He would have dearly loved to make singing his career but instead it has given him a huge amount of pleasure as an amateur performer and competitor.  

Comments

Thank you for this wonderful photo of your husband. I always enjoy Gilbert & Sullivan, and this picture made me smile right off. It's so nice that your husband has been able to enjoy something he loves doing.

---

Gillian, this is such a fun photo.  I love the costumes.

---

Hooray for G&S! So great that your husband has found outlets for his singing ability, even if not as a career. Thanks for sharing the great photo and background on your husband, Gillian.

Answer 8

This is my grandfather Kalle (Karl) Lundholm and his band at their school in Luleå, Sweden, about 1929. My grandfather played the piano, and he loved music.

Comments

Thank you for sharing this great photo of your grandfather's band, Maria. I wish I could hear what they sounded like!

Thank you, too, for mentioning that  your grandfather's name "Kalle" equates to "Karl"--and I suppose also to "Charles" in English (or maybe French). By coincidence, just last week I was researching an immigrant to the United States from Finland in the early 1900s. His name was given as "Charles" in some places and "Kalle" in others. I wasn't sure both names referred to the same person until I saw what you wrote about your grandfather!

---

Thank you for your comment Lloyd! I would have liked to hear what they sounded like too. I did get to hear my grandfather play the piano though.

Kalle is indeed a pet name or nickname for Karl in Sweden and Finland.

Answer 9

I don't have a "musical picture" of them, but my grandmother  Meena (Meacham-526) and her son, my half uncle. Pat Hughes (Hughes-15382) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Hughes) were musical, as was Pat's father Herbert Hughes (Hughes-15381) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hughes_(composer)).

Meena trained as a concert pianist at  the Royal Academy of Music (she made her solo debut, and won two gold medals, and never played a piano seriously again).

Herbert was an Irish composer, music critic and a collector and arranger of Irish folksongs.  Two of his best known pieces are the music for "Down By the Sally Gardens" and "She Moved Through the Fair". (I do not have any pictures of Herbert.)

Pat was known professionally as "Spike Hughes". He was a musician, composer and arranger involved in the worlds of classical music and jazz. He has been called Britain's earliest jazz composer.  He was also known as a broadcaster and humorous author.  One interesting story was that he wrote reviews of French restaurants, even though he was a diabetic and needed to strictly control his diet.  He claimed he only need to taste a teaspoon full to know if the dish was good or not.  He did not need to eat the whole thing.

Pat is the one in the middle, with the dark colored V-neck sweater.

Meena is on the far right of the back row, leaning sideways to be seen 

Comments

What a wonderful photo!

Do you have any idea of why Meena never played the piano seriously again?

When I read "Down by the Sally Gardens" above in your post, I immediately started humming it to myself. I think it is beautiful, and I first heard it when I studied musicology in 1987.

---

I don't know exactly why she gave up the piano, but it may have had something to do with her falling out with Herbert.  They were married in 1907, Pat was born in 1908, and they were separated, and basically not-on-speaking-terms by 1911.  It was the piano that had brought them together in the first place.

But she spent the rest of her life acquiring skills, and then dropping them.  She worked in ceramics (and had a piece exhibited at the Victoria and Albert museum), had a one-woman-show, sold everything, and dropped ceramics.  She trained as a bookbinder, became an expert, and dropped it.  She did quite a lot with fabric, spinning, dyeing, weaving, batik, and sewing, and dropped it. She bred show-winning Samoyeds, and dropped it. There were a host of other skills, I have a list somewhere.

The only thing she stuck with was psychoanalysis.  She started studying with Freud in 1924, when she was in her late 30s, and continued as a practicing psychoanalyst into her 80s.

---

Great photo of family, hairstyles and clothing!  Love Down By the Sally Garden, my daughter's a cappella group performed it and I have a couple versions in my play lists!

---

Thanks.

The picture is of Charles and Florence Meacham (Meena's parents) 50th Anniversary in 1935.  They are the older pair in the back row. He was a brewery chemist and a serious amateur painter, and she was also a n amateur painter.  They used to go on "painting holidays" in Italy, in South Africa (where they lived for quite a while) and in the English countryside.

The next row is my grandfather Battiscombe Gunn, my great aunt (Meena's sister) Wendy Wood (an artist and a rabid Scots Nationalist), and Meena.  ( I would not describe either Meena's or Wendy's haircuts as "styles")

The next row is Mary Barnish, Meena and Wendy's niece, daughter of their sister Bel, who had died about 10 years earlier, Pat, and Pat's first wife "Bobby".

The front row is my father, Iain Gunn, and Pat and Bobby's first daughter, Angela.  Yes, Iain was closer in age to his niece, Angela, than to his half brother, Pat.

Glad you like "Down By the Sally Gardens". So many people think it is "traditional", and don't realize that it was composed in the 20th century.

---

What an interesting photo, and an interesting and remarkably talented group of people! Thanks for sharing the photo and all the background, Janet.

---

Thank you Janet, for telling us more about the photo and your relatives. What an interesting family! I read the profile you wrote about Meena, and really enjoyed reading about such an unusual and independent woman.

Answer 10

This is a photo of a recital hall where my husband's father, Andrew Shaules played the pipe organ.

Andy was gifted musically, starting to take music lessons when he was three years old. He played publicly from the time he was about 11 years old, and was the Organist for a large Catholic church in San Diego, California by the time he was 16, having been assistant organist at another Catholic church. He was also locally known for his beautiful tenor voice. After WWII he played professionally at local venues during the 40s and 50s, but then seemed to have dropped music completely by the 1960s.

Comments

Thank you for the great photo Robin and the story of your husband's father's musical career. This photo reminds me of the church I went to as a child, thank you for sharing it.

---

Thank you, Alexis. The church I went to as a child also had a beautiful pipe organ.

---

Neat photo Robin, with the shapes and textures. Pipe organs bring music and physics and mathematics together for me, more than any other instrument, maybe because of literary references, but it makes them fascinating to me. Wonder why he stopped, maybe physical reasons, arthritis?

---

Thanks, M. What an interesting thought -- I am not very musically astute, and I would never have thought of physics and mathematics in relation to a pipe organ, though I do find them fascinating and beautiful. I expect the reason he stopped is that his entire life changed after the war. I suspect he had what today would be called PTSD and it eventually caused many changes for him.

---

Thank you Robin for sharing this wonderful photo where your husband father play the pipe organ

---

Thanks for sharing this photo, Robin, and the story behind it. I love pipe organs and pipe organ music, so I enjoyed seeing it. So sad about your father-in-law that his experiences in the war affected him so deeply, and eventually stole music from his life.

---

Thank you, Lloyd. Though he left music, he had nine children who are/were all musically inclined, so music in their family, though not to the extent it did in him, has lived on through them.

---

Thankyou, Robin, for the opportunity to share in Andrew's musical life.......I read his biography again and found it very interesting in it's entirety.......it took a lot to accomplish what he did, in his life time!

---

Thank you, John. And thank you for taking the time to read Andrew's biography.

Answer 11

This is my wife's grandmothers organ that she learn to player many years ago. It is played by Linda all the time.

Comments

It must be a great honor, for your wife, to have her grandmother's organ, Gary, and to be playing it to this day.

Answer 12

This little princess is my niece Lisa Stokke from Norway. She graduated from Paul McCartney's school in Liverpool. Shortly after she was cast as Sophie in the West End production of Abba's Mamma Mia and the release of the original cast recording .Later she was the voice and singing voice of Elsa in the Norwegian Dub of Frozen and Frozen 2.She appeared on stage in the 92nd Academy awards with others singing Into the Unknown.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruc-7A0hoRg

Comments

What a beautiful child, and what a beautiful young woman she turned into with a beautiful voice -- I went searching for the performance at the Academy Awards and found her. I enjoyed watching the performance and thank you for sharing this with us.

---

Amazing story, Deborah.  What a talented niece, and such a cutie in your photo.

---

Great photo, Deborah! Thank you for sharing. I had to look up Lisa's performance at the Academy Awards. Beautiful voice, and the same lovely smile she has in the photo you shared here.

Answer 13

Hal Gustaf Rammel (b.1947) is my cousin who lives in Wisconsin.

He has always had an interest in music ... he is a collector of rare instruments.  He also builds certain instruments.  Below is a photo of an article about

Comments

Bill, upon studying the instrument Hal is holding, I am wondering if the article describes it, or if their is a story about it?

---

Bill, after posting a comment, I figured I could zoom the computer screen and read the article....and I did.... which, also, gave me a better view of the instrument.

Answer 14

This is my uncle (Mom's brother), Bernard McClain, sitting at the organ he played for my parents' wedding. The wedding was held in the yard of the McClain family home in Tallman, Oregon, 9 July 1933.

He also played the clarinet (on a stand at left) during the ceremony. And he wrote a piece of music for the ceremony, too.

He wanted the organ to look like the theater organs of the day, so he disassembled it, painted it white, then added gold glitter trim. (Unfortunately only a little of the trim is visible in the photo, and it shows up as dark rather than "glittery." So you'll have to use your imagination for that part.)

Bernard was never a professional musician, but he was the organist for the church he attended most of his adult life in Portland, Oregon. He played the organ for most of my siblings' weddings, and for my wife's and mine (forty years or so after my parents').

Comments

Wonderful Lloyd.  Yes, I can picture the white organ with the gold glitter trim, which is so appropriate for weddings.  And I can relate to the church organist part.  My dad was also not a professional musician but said he got the thrill of his life when he substituted for the regular organist at the church.

---

Thank you for sharing another wonderful photo Lloyd. I wonder where the organ went after the wedding.

---

Thank you for the great comment, Pat. My hat is off to anyone who can play the organ. For myself, probably best that I stick with listening!

---

Thank you for your kind comment, Alexis. That is an excellent question. I don't think I was ever told what was done with the organ. I doubt there is anyone alive who can answer that question now, but I'll poke around. You have me curious!

---

I'm sure he played well since most of your siblings had him play. for them. Thirty-five years ago, my brother played the organ at my wedding. He connected an electronic keyboard to play in chorus. Somehow, the organ and the keyboard ended up in different keys, and my wife entered the church to "Here Comes the Bride" in a minor scale, what could have passed for a funeral dirge. For 35 years now, I have been reminded annually about how I almost got left at the alter.

---

Thanks for the comment and the humorous reminiscence, Bryan. Yikes! For the processional, no less. I suppose there was nothing to be done at that point but to proceed in spite of the music (unless, indeed, your bride was willing to leave you at the altar!). Yet, somehow, 35 years later, you're still married. Congratulations to you both!

---

I shared the story and photo, about Bernard, with Kathy ...........but only after a lengthy trip up the tree, to see where all our paths cross.......found some Lewises that I've been studying, to connect our new found 'Cousin Frank' to the tree.

---

Well, how about that! 15th cousins once removed, says WikiTree relationship finder. (I'm surprised the generations line up that closely after 15 of them.) I have never really explored the Browning line that connects me to the Lewises you mention. Guess I'll have to do that. Thanks for mentioning the crossed paths, Cuz!

Answer 15

Given that my grandfather's nickname was Tuba, you would expect that he would be posed with the tuba. I suspect that this was early in his band career given he has a high schooler's thin physique - thinner than his college photos. Probably the tuba was claimed by a more senior band member. He is the young guy behind the bass drum in the center.

I have many other photos of him in bands - the Cadet band at Penn State, the Orange Band of the American Legion Post in St Pete, Florida (went to Paris in 1927 to celebrate the anniversary of the end of WWI - he was the band mamager), in a concert band in St Pete (he was the manager). He also was involved in arranging talent for performances in St Pete in the 1930s - a sideline job.

Even into the 60s St Pete had an active marching band culture. Several members of Sousa's Marine Band retired there; one owned a music store.

Hmm, maybe I ought to write some of this stuff into a story and share with my family.

Comments

Absolutely capture that in a short story. You say he did all this as a sideline? What was his full-time job? And what would you consider his musical lifetime achievement?>

---

During his early years in St Pete (1925-1938), he sold insurance. In 1938, he went to work for the city in the Civil Service department. He retired as the Director in 1963,

Answer 16

This one took a little while......no photos of my mother playing the piano, or of Kathy playing her flute and the photo missing, in the computer, of one of our daughters playing her guitar on the edge of the Grand Canyon......with over a hundred descendants, including spouses, someone must have a musical photo.  Kathy found this one of our great grandson, Ayzac (2010-2014), playing his musical toy......although he was deaf, he liked seeing the various lights displayed.  How it all happened......in 2010, Kathy saw our grandson Kade (2005-2012) struggling to get on the tractor and he was taken to the local hospital, while we went to central B.C. to visit newborn, Ayzac, who as It turned out was not well.  On returning home I was notified to go to Children's Hospital where I met a 'panicked' doctor receiving both  Kade, by transfer ambulance, and Ayzac, by air ambulance.  Kade had a rare prostate cancer, one of only 4 in the province, while Ayzac had a rare mitochondrial disease, apparently the only known variant in the world, which became researched by doctors from Israel, Great Britain and Toronto, Canada.  Ayzac, if he lived, was expected to be in a vegetative state and had to be fed by a pump, through a tube, into his stomach.  Everybody pitched in, especially Kathy at Children's Hospital, Canuck's Place and at our home, and as well, Kathy took in, for daycare, another of our grandsons who arrived, in his first month with a chest infection, at Children's Hospital.  Kade recovered, for awhile, enough to attend school and Disneyland in Florida.......Ayzac, as can be seen, learned to furniture walk, play, smile and mouth words back to Kathy, in his more than 4 years.                      

Comments

Oh, John and Kathy, thank you for sharing this photo and the story. My heart goes out to you for these struggles that you and your family have endured.

I, in my fragile state with the recent loss of my husband, understand how important photos can be for the memories they keep alive. I had to cry for you... and for myself for a few minutes.

---

Robin.....your comment suddenly started to bring tears to my eyes, also......I, have, at times, wondered where they were......figured they're put away playing a supportive role.  Thankyou, Robin, I will share your comment with Kathy.

---

John, your photo has captured Ayzac in a moment of happiness.  For that I am grateful as your story brought teary eyes.

---

Thankyou, Pat..... Kathy just sat with me, at the computer, and read what I wrote and the comments.......we are grateful for the opportunity to share and, also, to remember the numerous happy moments.

---

John (and Kathy), thank you for sharing this. Heartbreak upon heartbreak! I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry you had to endure these back-to-back tragedies. As with this photo of Ayzac making music with his toy, I hope you will be comforted by happy memories in the midst of the sadness. I do hope your photos turn up, too!

---

Kathy and I thankyou, Lloyd, for your kind words......our time with Ayzac and Kade is filled with happy memories......our hearts are with the parents sadness, when it was time to go.  Kade was infatuated with sunflowers and his parents plant them every year......this sunflower grew itself tall, out of the surplus dirt pile, and fell over, still producing vase after vase of flowers, for his parents, and kept me company for the first 24 hours of mandatory firewatch on 2 burning piles......or, face the music.                                                                                    

---

Gorgeous Photo John thank you for sharing

---

Thankyou, Susan......after lengthy no burn weather and two record setting rainfalls, the week before, it was amazing to get two piles ignited for a clean burn.

---

Nice that the sunflowers serve as an ongoing memorial to Kade. Pretty impressive production you got from that one "volunteer" sunflower plant. Here in Oregon we got just the edge of those storms that dumped all the rain on you guys. Definitely nice after the dry summer, but I'm waiting for a little more rain (which evidently is coming this week) before doing any burning here. Looks like your rain really turned everything green again. Beautiful view in your photo. Thanks for sharing it.

Answer 17

I first picked up a flute when I was 9 years old.  I picked it because one of the popular girls in my grade played it.  Little did she know how she inadvertently affected the course of my life!  I nearly quit during my first year because I couldn't get the high notes to come out.  There was a worried phone conversation between my mother and the band director about this and I always remember that frustration when I'm starting beginners.  I grew up playing at church service and in high school a pianist friend and I gave many little recitals for senior citizen groups.  My musical career ambitions created a major rift between me and my traditional Taiwanese father, but I was undeterred.  I always tell my students to pick any career other than music if their hearts allow them to because it's a challenging life in many ways.  It proved to be the right choice for me though, and decades later my flute and music still bring me daily joy.

Comments

Thank you for sharing this photo of yourself doing what you love, Betsy. I'm glad you persevered. And thank you for passing on your musical abilities to the next generation! It's wonderful that you're doing that.

---

Thank you, Betsy, for your photo and story.  I'm glad it was the right choice for you but my father got the same advice you give your students, as he toyed with the idea of a career in music.  He was wonderful on piano but his aunt convinced him to keep music as a sideline.  He played the piano everyday, from classical to jazz when he got home from working as a meteorologist and never regretted it.  In addition it brought me and my mother great joy as his audience.

---

Betsy, I shared the photo of you playing your flute, with Kathy.......it reminded me of Kathy playing her flute before she passed it on to her granddaughter.  

---

Thank you, John.  I've had a handful of beginners who came to me with an older relative's flute in hand.  It's nice to keep it in the family and then those two musicians always have something to bond over.

Answer 18

https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Kenyon-2575-1

Around 1950. A holiday get together. My Mother who is a retired music teacher and is still a substitute church organist is not playing the piano in this picture. In the picture are her grand parents as well as many cousins, aunts and uncles.

Comments

A wonderful family photo, David......it must have made your great grandparents, Walter and Evangeline, very happy.

Answer 19

I never did find a photo of me singing in the shower, but I just found this one of my husband in his high school band.
