"Forever in our hearts" Musicales on By Alex Ingram Scugog Shores Museum regular Sunday night Mu- sicales had a wonderful evening Sunday, May 28. Joan Aldred and her Sweet Adeline group called "One More Time" sang for us. Besides being lovely to look at (male point of view) these girls gave us a splendid perfor- mance of their typical bar- bershop harmonies and enjoyable music. Gretel Cameron, accom- panied by Joan Lee on the keyboard, took us back to the music we enjoyed so much during the war years and after. Alex Ingram and Bob Cawker on saxophone, with Roy Paterson on pia- no, provided excellent toe- tapping tunesin the Dixie- land manner. Next week, June 4, Cyn- thia Nidd of Uxbridge will bring her violin and her Sweet Adeline chorus. We have had Cynthia before and do look forward to an- other lovely evening. Paul Arculus has promised us an interesting short story about Port Perry, its peo- ple and its times. Don't forget the hymn sing. We are starting our June Musicales at 7:30 p.m. (note time change).
