Hello Everybody!  So here I am on Thursday, writing my Wednesdays with Wendy Blog and what does that say about me? Wednesdays are busier than I thought and yet I am determined to keep this to Wednesday.  Why? Well, my grandparents, rest their souls, only spoke Yiddish. I have some vivid memories of their home in Williamsburg, Brooklyn-not VA. I was 7 yrs old when they both passed away.  My grandmother would call me Vendsday, as her "W's" sounded like "V's", and she had learned the day of the week Wednesday...well sort of.  So my Bubbie lovingly called me Vendsday.  This is why I am determined to keep this Blog-Wednesday with Wendy, as I smile to myself thinking Vendsday mit Vendsday.  Hey, if I called it what I was thinking I could write it any day.

So, what does this have to do with Music Together with Music and Me?  We create memories while making music.  A rich tapestry of music.  My memories of my grandparents involve the sound of my grandfather, my Zayde praying, or davening which is very rhythmic and the smell of my grandmother's cooking.  Today, in one of our Zoom classes it was beautiful to see a grandmother dancing in the kitchen with her 4 yr old grandson.  So today, I honour the grandparents and the grandchildren who are blessed to have them near and be able to sing, dance and play with them, in the blanket of sheer love and joy! Thank You. ~Wendy
