This month we celebrated Christmas a little early with a very special program and special menu for lunch. I think everyone was very pleased with both the program and the food.
Our program started with a Piano / Organ duet Prelude by Grace Averitt at the Piano and Nancy Jensen at the Organ. Their music was well done but I’ll let you hear it here, too!
Following this music, I did our normal opening material and jokes.
THEN! We were pleased to be entertained by the Carillon Brass. This group will be doing a similar program this weekend (Friday Afternoon) at the Loft downtown. All five of these brass musicians are also part of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, in addition to other duties and jobs such as teaching, etc. Our own Pastor of Worship and Music, Charlie Pagnard did most of the talking and played Trumpet.
Oh, that’s right, they are a Quintet, that means 5. So here are the other 4. These included a French Horn, another Trumpet, at Trombone, and a Tuba!
I’ll include a couple of YouTube links so you can actually see and hear these men in action:

Now, you can also listen to the entire concert HERE.
Finally, if this isn’t enough, we had a fantastic lunch! Last month we had everyone vote on their choice for meals and the winner was – Ham, Potatoes, Fruit Salad, and Pie. Lisa chose the pie and I thought it was great, even though I had never had anything like it before. Egg Nog Pie! Thank you Lisa and the kitchen and dining room staff for a fantastic Christmas meal!
