MUSIC AND MEMORIES

I finally got back to the Facebook page for my son’s music.  If you would like to hear a good voice, go to that site and have a listen.

Met some sweet and wonderful ladies last night at a get-together. Heard some stories of when the railway came to Alberta only twice a day and it took all day to get anywhere because the passenger cars were coupled to the cattle cars and the train had to stop often to load and unload cattle. there were stories about one and two-room schools and homesteads in the middle of nowhere because the foreman was given the house in the middle of a 10-mile line of train track.

Family stories are important. Get them out of your elders before it’s too late. Future generations will be doing their genealogy and those are the interesting things for them. You may not think that telling a story about your microwave oven would be of interest to anyone, but, let’s face it, do our grandkids know what an 8-track tape is? The world is moving fast.

That’s all for today – have a listen to those tunes on Facebook – it will cheer you.
I can’t get the link to work, so just copy and paste the following link into your address bar.
