Music, music, music is my sepia theme this week (you can choose your own theme if you want or follow mine) and to illustrate the theme we have a picture of my Uncle Harry. The picture dates from the 1930s, but I remember him sat at the piano in the 1950s and 1960s entertaining the family. At weekends her would be out performing at one of the many working men's clubs that thrived back in those days in the industrial north of England. You can join in with Sepia Saturday by simply posting your own old photograph and leaving a link on the list below on or around Saturday 13th December 2025.
Our final Sepia Saturday of the year is, as usual, for the two weeks over the Christmas and New Year period and playing in the snow sounds like a suitable title (as always, my apologies to those followers in the Southern hemisphere!). Sep[ia Saturday will be back in January 2026 and I will post the January themes within the next few days.
Thinking of our ancestors today. And there was a great paragraph about women doing needlework…so I’m a week late on that topic! No music, sorry.
ReplyDeleteHappy memories of music making in my family down the generations.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother played the guitar and the piano and sang. A letter from 1904
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how many photos I found to match the prompt. Didn't know I had that many pix of folks tickling the ivories. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why comments are not being allowed on my blog. Seeking answers from my host.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this prompt and giving me the opportunity to write to my favorite vintage photos of which I have hundreds. Can't wait to share them.
ReplyDeleteFinding Eliza - It won't recognizez my website and Im unable to leave comment so I will leave it here. I adore Pearl. How wonerful to have her letter postmarked and handwritten! Love her photo to with the pigeon breast style - fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret! There was some sort of problem with my Host it wasn't allowing any comments, not even by me! It's finally been solved and as of Sunday morning, commenting is working again.
ReplyDeleteAlan has given me a perfect theme as I have a matching story about a musician I have wanted to tell for some time. It proved to be one of my long form stories that needed an extra day to polish up. Musical of course, but with a twist at the end that I believe makes it a worthwhile read.
