Playing for the Keenagers

A few weeks ago our family did a music program for the "Keenagers", a seniors' group at First Baptist Church in Bolivar, TN. The Keenagers are one of our family's favorite groups to play for. They are all so sweet and friendly.

We are sorry for not having very good pictures to post. Our regular camera lens stopped working and we had to use our zoom lens. Also, we have no pictures of all of us playing together because we didn't ask anyone to take one.

Daddy and the boys playing "The Washington Post March"
