It’s a Blessing
The July 4 band was playing all the usual songs. I wandered around, like I always do, with a camera and an idea that maybe there’d be something that would look OK in a photo.
And, just three and a half years after I made this shot, I noticed that the instrument case says “It’s a Blessing” on it. (I’ll wait while you give the photo another look.) And that’s only my second favorite thing about it – I love how it’s obviously been used for years and has the scars and scruff marks to show for it.

Nice story telling photograph, Melinda. Those ones found sometime after you capture the moment are the best!

It always makes me wonder how I missed it the first time through the images! But finding those gems later is like getting an unexpected present.

Check out the Blessing Brass story on their website, I picture them shipping to Professor Harold Hill back in the day 😉

Well, it DID sound like “76 Trombones” playing in the distance as I walked away…
