Wasn't That A Party!!!!

Wascana was rocking last Thursday evening when Larry & Marj Middleton of Abernethy brought their blend of keyboard and sax for the pleasure of many of the residents of Wascana. 50 residents settled in at ground level and 20 more were entertained from the second floor "balconies". Through the mix of swing, folk, latin, country, old tyme, polkas, and gospel music, the staff kept the residents and their wheel chairs dancing. Isabel and her friends had front row seats.

Remembering her own coaching from Larry while she was learning to play the sax a few years ago, Isabel remarked:

LARRY MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY and THOSE TWO CAN PLAY ANYTHING.

When you use a letterboard to communicate, you can "talk" throughout the concert, and the ushers don't tell you to "Keep quiet!"

Isabel closed the party down when she saw her guests to the door to wish them good night. On her way back home to Unit 2-6, the cleaning staff were the only folks left reminding us of a fine evening of music and dance and friendship.

Thanks, Larry & Marj and Regina friends for bringing your music and appreciation to the halls of Wascana.
