A Tommy Dorsey Weekend for Lee and I
#14

Fantastic concert; fantastic time! And guess what? It was Lee's first time seeing a BIG BAND! That's what made it all the better. He was so pleased and enjoyed himself immensely! He kept commenting on how talented the musicians were. He surprised himself too because he knew every song except for one. Most of the names eluded him, but once the first few notes were played...

 

I introduced myself to the band-leader after the show and told him about my Aunt Shirley singing with the band long ago. He actually played with Dorsey, so goes back a long way. Told him I would send him a copy of the photo when I located it. Really nice guy. Enjoyed our conversation.

 

The four of us had a wonderful weekend and the B&B was just superb. A lovely old brick Victorian with the greatest details inside and out. Wonderful hospitality too. Here's the weblink. It looked nice online, but it was lovlier in person, for sometimes photos just don't do enough justice.

We rarely get the chance to get away, so this was like a weekend in heaven. Lee and I were up early on Sunday, and went out about 7AM and toured the gardens. We sat outside at a little table on a bricked patio, and talked and laughed over coffee. When Mark and Anne came out, we wound up having our breakfast served to us outside. It was picture perfect. Great home-cooked food, served with a smile. Ain't nothing better. My brother-in-law told the owner; we WILL be back. :drinkin:
