A Piece Of Music Based On A Family Heirloom

[midiman1962]

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Today is the 6th June and 76 years since my Grandfather was part of the Normandy Landings.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">The recent furlough scenario gave me the opportunity to investigate a family heirloom which was a pocket book of pencil drawings he did (often several a month) detailing the events of this period of his life.



<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">So i created a video from the cartoons and wrote some music to go with it.



<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">As the family hearsay goes, an Officer told him to do a drawing every day ….

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">This is part one encompassing June and July 1944. At some point there will be Part 2 & 3.

<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">It is interesting to note that at the time of the landings he was 37 years old and was married with an 8 year old son (my father).
