A Lakeside Symphony Blog
A blog for current and past musicians of the Lakeside Symphony, Lakeside, Ohio, as well as for friends of the orchestra. This blog can be whatever we want it to be (well, OK, within reason). Please send pictures, stories, announcements, etc., to me at kbb47@aol.com. I will send out occasional e-mails to remind people to check for new posts. It looks like we're stuck with my bio from my other blog, which is for active and retired Ohio teachers (www.kathiebracy.blogspot.com). Oh well. KBB
