What I did on my summer vacation
Here are the pictures from Madison. They're biggish files, so I hid them below the fold.
Here's Barnard Hall, where I lived. The front looks better than the rooms.
And here's breakfast...yes, it was that blurry at 7 AM!
Here's the front of the State St. mall at lunchtime, with all those colorful carts:
And farther down:
Our music vendor, Honeysuckle Music, with proprietor Jean Allison Olson at rear right, and Rotem Gilbert in the middle.
she shared the room with Kate McWilliams' Unprofitable Instruments:
Here's bagpipe class! Left to right: Laura Kuhlman, Joan Kimball, Priscilla Smith.
And the rest of the class: Christine Cox Eriksson and Alan Kolderie:
Before afternoon 460 Loud Band, tubists invade our world. L to R: Bill Baylis, Liza Malamut (way too hidden!), Joan Kimball, Mike Allsen. Laura is back consorting with the tubists.
Big loud band for All-Festival:
Harp class; instructor Julia Chybowski in center.
Faculty rehearsing for their concert:
Here's the edge of that art fair.
And here's the notorious MEMF Polka Band:

Crapitolartfair.jpg--is that file name an intentional critique, or just a Freudian typo?

Jeffrey: there are no accidents here. Funny how founts of socialism are so breast-shaped.
RWP: Natürlich! Aber ich habe nie einem Oktubafest aufgeführt.

That's an interesting lesson on the board in bagpipe class! Looks like you had fun.

And not from our class! We were a fairly nonliterate lot...we did the performance from memory. It was the same harmonization that Piffaro does (ergo, "Piffaro farm team"). We had to write some 2nd pipe parts, in which the trained composer was at a disadvantage; I was a bit too creative in a non-period way.

Great pics! Could we borrow some of these for our web albums (that is, if I ever have time to update them!)?
