This email not only comes to you from out of state (I’m in Maryland!), but from my Ipad as my computer is broken again…this has been a challenge. Yesterday I was at a wedding in Michigan. There was a lot of wonderful music including a jazz mass and a live band at the reception which played a variety of more traditional songs by which we could dance called dances of the Scottish variety. We even learned to sing a song in Norwegian!
