"General Discord" 234th Army Band

Gazebo in Enterprise

Early yesterday morning, friend Debbie called inviting me to come pick the last of her raspberries, some small zucchini and she threw in a small head of broccoli as well...I returned home to mix another batch of sourdough bread, had just finished that job when Pat called and said there was a must see Estate sale, just across town from us...I found a few treasures and Herb returned with the truck to get 6 steel posts for a dollar each...The day slipped by, dinner used up leftovers of sweet Lebonese Bologne, sandwiched between fresh zucchini patties and smothered with cheese.

Dinner

Fragrant loaves of bread sat cooling on the counter, and we made our way to Enterprise for the weekly music at the Gazebo.

Just out of the oven

Yummy

It was cool and breezy as a crowd gathered at the Gazebo for the weekly music...On tap was "General Discord." A small group of mostly woodwinds from the 234th Army Band, out of Portland, on tour of Eastern Oregon...Enterprise their last stop.

Last nights music was a rare treat as we sat enthralled listening to Marches, Overtures and Opera to name a few...It ended all to quickly, as they took their bows, ready to head back to Portland, where families await them...Many veterans, from our community, attended last night and stood to be recognized for their service...We were honored to be in their company and thank them for their service...It was refreshing to hear the Star Spangled Banner played and sung as I remember it as a child, instead of all the modern renditions that seem popular with todays musicians...After all it is a march and should be treated as such!

Thanks to Janice Carper and The Wallowa Valley Music Alliance for this Summer Concert Series that we continue to enjoy on a weekly basis, plus many other musical extravaganzas, played at the end of the road, Wallowa County, Oregon...We are very privledged to have a great variety of musical entertainment for our enjoyment...Your donations are always appreciated to keep this program going...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
