Swingin’ in Saltburn
Last night I had the enjoyment of traveling out the Saltburn and listening to a local Big Band concert at the Saltburn Golf Club. Several weeks ago, I met another American (probably the only one beside myself and Kim in this part of England :) ) from Texas who moved here six years ago as a missionary. Sara sings with this big band and it was such an enjoyment to hear these amateur musicians and Sara perform some of my favorite Big Band music; Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Rosemary Clooney, Gershwin. I was definitely the youngest person there but it was still a lot of fun and during the break, we were even given steak pie and mushy peas which is traditional food for Northeast England. A fun way to end a week!

Hi Nanc...sounds like fun this family would all enjoy. Did they invite you to join them with a gitfiddle or banjo...piano? Are you missing your instruments? Where are you off to next? Scotland is calling.....how about Caponrae? Not sure how you spell it.
sent you a comment, but it didn't come up, so will say again how much I enjoyed being a bug on the wall at the Saltburn swing
