It can get a bit chilly on a damp, cool and rainy evening in the upper Lower Peninsula of Michigan, even in August. The student musician accomodations can be quite a walk from the practice and performing buildings.

Today, no one over 17 would be called a girl, and I get no one over 6 would be called a young girl. But it's a lovely photo, and I only wish we had audio to accompany it.

Once again Shorpy sent me to the dictionary.
Besides an alternate term for the soprano voice and the treble cleft clef to notate pitches above middle C, the term has designated:
-- shrill, whistling, or squeaky sounds
-- a fishing implement with three hooks
-- three races won by the same horse
-- three parts, three times as much, three units of anything, or three times as large
-- a football betting pool awarding points for draws, home or away wins
-- a sum of money more than 100 pounds but less than 1000
It's also a character from the Japanese game Maga Man.

You just know these lovely ladies are going to launch into Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B!

Just checked the weather for Interlochen: high of 70 today, over 80 on Wednesday. So it’s not some frigid micro-climate place. Why then do all three young ladies wear corduroys plus a heavy layer on top? And I’ll bet it wasn’t a coincidence – some discussion between these three must have gone into it.

If you want to be in like Flynn at Interlochen ... you had better be wearing corduroys.

Eight years before this photo was taken, one of my uncles was at a summer music camp (he was eventually a music and math teacher for many years). They were given a weekend off, so a friend invited my uncle to spend the weekend with the friend and his family in Mineral Wells, Texas. So, my uncle went to Mineral Wells, where he met his friend's sister. They were married the next day.
