Thank God for YouTube! This dreary, dismal, Thursday came to my rescue in surfing YouTube looking for some inspiring topics. Before switching to "Tube" I did enjoy an hour aboard The Queen Mary. This one giant of a ship carried millions across the "Pond" before and during and after WWII.
I then watched Price Phillip at age 90. An interesting man...the husband of Queen Elizabeth! My next query came in watching a clip on Quebec City. This too inspired me so I sought out "French-Canadian Fiddle Music!"
It seems Franco-American traditions of yesteryear are just that. I notice all of the obituaries in the Telegram. Many have a French last name. There was a time when French married French. Today the acculturation of Americans are truly a mixed breed. I happened to be a purebred frog! LOL.
Two generations ago families congregated on Sunday afternoons around a piano-playing grand mother and a grandfather who played a fiddle!
This afternoon I have watched French-Canadian fiddle music on YouTube!
Log onto "French-Canadian fiddle Music" for some different entertainment!
Veterans program at WBES tomorrow at 9:30AM. I plan on attending. Also, on Veterans Day the WB Senior Center has a breakfast - 9:00 - 11:00 AM.
Looking for a clear and colder weekend. Don't think snow will materialize other than FLAKES!
