424 - Back in the day...2 years ago!

I used to chuckle when my kids would say, "Back in the day..." meaning the 90's.

When I say "back in the day", I'm referring to the 60's.

I came across this embarrassing and less than perfect video that I made 2 years ago on the spur of the moment.

Covid lockdowns had begun about a week earlier.

Zoom? What was that?

I had never heard of zoom.

I received this video from my ex-husband, who lives in Germany.

It had been 15 years since we last played together in an orchestra.

When I saw him playing Beethoven, my first thought was that the harmony was missing.

There was no preparation, no special equipment.

I seized the moment, grabbed a stack of books, set up my computer and pulled out my horn.

Looking back, I'm pleased that after so many years, I was still able to remember the harmony and play along with him, without being able to see him.

It wasn't perfect but it was fun.

I noticed later that, if nothing else, I provided a great list of good books for people to consider reading.

It was a spur of the moment bit of fun that lightened the situation all around us.

This shows how much has changed in the past 2 years.

Perspectives! It's all about perspectives.

When you say, "Back in the day", what time frame are you referring to?
