Town Band Jul 16, 2018
The hills are alive with the sound of music.
Talented musicians converge on community bandstands and village greens.
The conductor raises a baton and the Town Band strikes up a tune.
Another day in Vermont crescendos as the setting sun casts a spotlight and summer shadows across the stage.

Don’t you LOVE that you only have to drive 8 miles for suitable inspirations!
Isn’t that the truth Noka!
I for one, just love this part of small town living! Love the picture, Peter!
I’ll second that emotion, Vivian, thanks!
Hi Peter, a lovely day and a good concert. What more do you want? I suppose it was like this. Happy summer. We also have sunny days but the plants are suffering. We all need a summer rain. Have a good time, Peter. Greetings from a heated Duisburg.
I have seen a few town bands play in Germany on my visits there Doris. I think there may have been more beer involved there.
Indeed! In this summer beer is nearly sold out because the bottles don’t return. You know we love beer in bottles of glass. But in the park we also love beer in big “Humpen” or so called “Stiefel” or in Bavaria the like it in “Maß”.
Wow! Just had a flood of wonderful memories come back enjoying summer evenings on the green.
Thank you Peter for bringing back such a special time.
Thanks Chris!
My favorite of your paintings so far!
Thanks Ted!
I would really like to sit under one of this trees and listen to the music; a glass of lemonade would be perfect.
Thanks Magdalena!
I love all the pictures you paint. It feels like you are right there. Thank you.
Thanks Betty!

Thanks Robert!
Small towns, sweet days, lovely music, picnic on the grass, cold chicken, cokes….you just brought it all back to me Peter! Thank you❤️
Thanks Jan!
Hi Peter, I am attempting to bid on this but my bid doesn’t seem
to be registering.
Hello Nan, please give me a call at 802-235-2328 and we will figure it out. Thanks! Peter
Nice talking with you Nan, I’m glad we figured it out!
Wonderful as usual! Love Vermont and the small
town churches and meeting places. Takes me
back to the joys of small town America. Thanks!
Thanks Sandra!
Is this the East Poultney United Baptist Church?
Yes it is Nancy!
The heart of where I grew up. I spent many hours here and have many fond memories. You captured it beautifully!
Thanks Joanne!
Beautiful painting Peter!! You have captured the Vermont gathering on the Green. One big family!! Love it!!
Thanks Dale!
I love summer concerts in villages and small towns. This painting brings back memories.
Thank you
Thanks Karen!
Thanks for another Middletown Springs memory. I’m still wishing for a print including the Vail Mansion which is part of the Saxton history. In the mean time the church scene is wonderful. Great also to see your picture. You are looking well. Jan
Thanks very much Jan, I am feeling much better. This one is East Poutlney, but close enough to Middletown to hear the closing crescendo.
