Sometimes, when the phone rings, I have NO desire to answer it. Really. HOWEVER, today, I answered the phone and because I was home, I got three storytelling gigs at Mayfair this weekend. Sometimes, being home and picking up the phone is a profitable thing to do. So, come out and hear me tell stories, and mess around on the accordion, and teach kids songs at Mayfair in Allentown. I will be at the Kids Stage Friday evening at 6:15 pm; Saturday from 12 noon to 12:30 pm and Sunday from 6:15 to 7 pm. On Monday, I will tell stories at the Esplanade Stage from 1:30 to 2 pm. That gig was already planned. So, here's my advice. Answer the PHONE! It might be Opportunity!
Drawing a marching band is not easy. So much research was involved in making this as believable as possible. This piece is currently in the July 2011 issue of
Highlights High Five which is available now.
I put a lot of cameos of family and friends in this one. The band is loosely based on my wife's high school,
North Penn and their Marching Knights, of which she was a member. My wife can be seen playing the clarinet with holly attached to her hat. My Grandfather (of whom I am named after) can be seen on the left with my Grandma Vi. The four children sitting on the curb (one has a horn) are of myself (I'm wearing the Canada cap), my two brothers and my sister. We would often go to parades that were just up the road from us on Frankford Avenue in the
Mayfair section of Philadelphia. Some of my nieces and nephews are pictured as well as a couple of friends with their kids.

We saw the spread in HF when it arrived at our home in NW MontCo last week! Cheers!
Thanks, Joe!
