The Vacation Coda
We returned a few days ago from our trip to Winnipeg, the North Shore and Duluth, and I have three more vacation photos I wanted to share that relate to the G. Oliver Riggs project.
The first is me with G. Oliver in front of the band shell in Two Harbors, Minn., about 30 miles north of Duluth. Two Harbors is home to one of the oldest continuously operating community bands in the state, behind Meire Grove (1883) and Carlisle (1894). I don’t know that G. Oliver ever played in Two Harbors, but I’m sure he would have known of the band, which organized in 1897.
The band shell is named after its longtime conductor, Paul Gauche, and the community band still plays weekly summer concerts there.
