by Bob Fry - "I remeber those recitals ..."

Edna Ott Barlow sent in this program from a 1949 Warwick Musical recital
She writes:
Look what I found! Almost all of the names are familiar to me. I took piano lessons from Mrs. Holmes on South Street while attending Hamilton Avenue Grade School and I remember walking to her house every week for the lessons.
How terrified I was at those recitals, getting up on stage. Do any others listed on this program remember those days so long ago?

This comment from Bob Fry -
I remeber those recitals very well and the terror the nights before. It always semed that there was a thunderstorm when we were playing. Also the Methodist churh piano was always a little out of tune. I was never as good a pianist as my brother Bill, who eventually became church orgnaist at Christ Church during high school.
