The inaugural My Musical Family recital was such fun two years ago, I don’t know why it took us so long to revive it. But revive it we did, in lively fashion last evening, with the help of two other musical families: our friends Michael and Shari and their daughter Sophie; and Steve’s sister Beth, her husband Hans, and their kids Hannah, Franny and Zach.

Fortunately, they all live within walking distance. A third musical family was unable to come due to the stupid blizzard conditions. We missed you, Owen, Myrna, Rose and Ryan!

I came up with the idea of having a recital as a way of honoring my great-grandparents, G. Oliver and Islea Riggs, who were both accomplished musicians.

I know, I know, I go without blogging for weeks, and now here I am with a second post this week. It’s a feast or famine thing. This post will be brief, though. I wanted to be very non-Minnesotan and pass along a link to a story about me that was published today on the Northfield ArtsTown website.

The My Musical Family blog has been way too quiet lately. Not good, especially for a blog that revolves around music! It would make more sense if I wrote about meditation.

The good news is I have not been idle. I have been working diligently on my book about G. Oliver Riggs and his extraordinary career as a real-life music man.
