Musical Musings
Music is definitely in the air. It is every-
where, but seems to be in the forefront in
certain times of the year. The most
music -centred times I can think of off
the top of my head are Christmas and
summertime.
Summertime means festivals, events
and family and friend gatherings. Music
is a natural part of these life moments.
With Lucknow's Music in the Fields hap-
pening this coming weekend there has
certainly been a music theme happen-
ing in Lucknow.
It was an honour to be able to feature
the Teeswater Highlanders on the cover
of a recent edition of the Sentinel. Hav-
ing lived in Teeswater for a while, my
family was lucky to be able to enjoy their
outdoor summer practices. It takes not
only talent, but a lot of commitment to
be a part of such a successful band. It is
one thing to be able to sit and enjoy the
music, it is quite another thing to be one
of the dedicated musicians who make it
seem such a simple task to bring that
music to us for our enjoyment. I was
speaking to one of the members at the
Dungannon Fair and got chatting about
how she participated in the parade, then
had to hurry to change to be responsible
for running one of the competitions in
the fair. This is just one example of how
community -minded many of the musi-
cians are.
If you are a vocalist, there is an invita-
tion from the Blyth Singers to become
part of their group. These performers
hold a vital role in the cultural fabric of
our local area. Many of these artists
travel great distances and go to great
lengths to arrange their schedules to
participate. However, anyone who has
had the opportunity to be part of a musi-
cal group of any kind will testify to the
sense of family and belonging that are a
great part of the rewarding experience,
along with the magic of bringing the
individual talents together to give a per-
formance that touches hearts and minds
in a way that just would not be possible
without the unique blending of skill and
the joy of making music.
There are many opportunities to join
in with the local music scene. There are
competitions for youth talent at most
festivals. There are church choirs from
the small congregations where there
are more people in the choir loft than in
the pews to the more formal invita-
tional choirs who travel to perform at
other churches and venues. There are
jamborees held at local Legion halls
and other venues. Of course, there are
also the impromptu jams in camp-
grounds, backyards and virtually any-
where that musicians of all skill levels
gather or meet.
You don't have to be a musician to
experience the joy of music. After all,
music is always much more satisfying
when it is shared. So, whether you play
an insturment, belt out a song, bust a
move, tap your toes or just turn up the
volume... let the music begin...

Happy 96th birthday to Marcia Daw-
son who celebrates next week. Marcia
has already been celebrating with family
and friends who have been visiting with
flowers and taking her out for meals over
the last few weeks.
My great-nephew Nick and I are visit-
ing with my sister Linda and her hus-
band Marc in Perlcinsfield near Midland
this week. We are having a very good
time and I'll fill you in on details next
week once I get home.
What's with this weird summer, it's
bad enough that our winter lasted almost
10 months, but do we have to have such
a cool, wet summer. I dread turning on
the news for fear another town or com-
munity has been deluged and are suffer-
ing under many feet of water.
For any interested, Teeswater is hold-
ing their fair this weekend. Another fair,
another community, more fun for
everyone.
It looks like the parishioners of St.
Joseph's Kingsbridge are still going
strong despite the closing of their
church. They are holding a reunion mass
this coming Sunday in Kingsbridge at 2
p.m.
You know how people in this commu-
nity love to eat, well, the Legion is having
a breakfast this Saturday morning, so get
up and go out for breakfast to the Legion.
Sympathy of the community to the
families of: Catherine Hackett, 56, Luc -
know; George MacLennan, 81, Ripley;
William Robinson, 73, Ripley; and, Ber-
nard Sokoloski, 70, Mount Forest.

Get well wishes to Earl Elliott who is
spending time in the Wingham Hospital.
The ladies from the Purple Grove
Women's Institute and some of their
friends enjoyed their summer tour on
Tuesday August 12, 2014. The first stop
was to the Iceculture plant in Hen-
sall. What an enlightening experience to
see all the beautiful ice sculptures that
they make. After the plant tour some of
the ladies enjoyed a slide down the ice
slide. Needless to say we were wearing
heavy coats. A stop was made at The Gar-
lic Box and we enjoyed a great lunch at
Kate's Station in Vanastra. President Mari-
lyn Reid handed out our new meeting
programs. From there we enjoyed a fun
afternoon of shopping and visiting in
Clinton. We were home before supper
and from all reports a good time was had
by all.
Congratulations to Rachel Miller and
David Ortt who were married Saturday at
the Miller family home in a lovely rainy
outdoor wedding near Thorndale. Rachel
is the eldest daughter ofJanice and George
Miller and David is from Calgary.
Also on Saturday, August 16th, Jamie
and Crystal Farrell welcomed their baby
girl, Danica Ann. First granddaughter for
Jim and Fran Farrell and first great-grand-
daughter for Derk and Lillian Logtenberg.
The Paisley Heritage Show was on
this weekend and enjoyed by all in
attendance.
It won't be long until we have our regu-
lar September meeting on the 3rd at the
Community Centre.
