The Way We Were…..
Once upon a time, there was a group of grown people who decided to do a show. It was called “You and the Night and the Music” – a celebration of popular music from the 1930’s. They had so much fun singing together, they formed a more permanent arrangement and called themselves “Mixed Company”. Though they suffered loss and change, the core group remained together for several years before dissolving. Luckily, there was one recording made – of a concert in Providence. When I hear this, it brings everything back – the friendship, the music, the love.

Wow, can’t believe it’s been so long. We sounded good!!
you guys rocked. Beautiful music! Love the title of your group, because to make music itself for sure is to do a mix. My daughter and her husband, Dave, are Sweet Wednesday, so we’re a music family, and wherever I go, it’s about LOVE to follow the “lieder”.
Thanks for the post. Just a small, grace note! Ruth
