This afternoon, the owners of the Morton House in Milton hosted a swing band concert. The Morton House is a beautiful old B&B. It has a front porch overlooking a large lawn that slopes gently down to the Mersey River. It was a perfect place to sit outdoors and listen to our new swing band. The audience was enthusiastic. The band played music familiar to the audience, so we loved the program. After all, we lived through the era of the big bands and we enjoy returning to our youth.
Today there were several surprises. First was the expertise of the new swing band. They were good. The group was newly formed in May and I look forward to hearing them again. The second surprise was the number of people in the audience. There must have been well over one hundred folks scattered around the lawn sitting in the shade. This is a small community and I was pleased to see so many people coming to an outdoor concert given by a new musical group. The expertise of the local musicians is always surprising to me and today was a perfect example. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon enjoying our new swing band sitting outside on the Morton House lawn.
