Storytelling - part deux. (Harry's tale...)

This is Harry. I've spent a great deal of time siting next to him in the past month, in the Merrimac Valley Concert Band. Sometimes all that rehaersing got to be a little tedious, sometimes my hands started hurting and I was musically useless, sometimes the wait time at the gig seemed very long indeed. Chatting with Harry made all that seem inconsequential.

Harry told me where he was when he heard the news that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. He told me about his training to enter the Army in World War II. How when he arrived in Germany, the war was over, and he played the saxophone for the troops in an Army band instead. His philosophy of life came through his stories - and it was a great philosophy indeed.

Sometimes at these gigs I get bored or cranky. Not this time. Thanks Harry!
