We're on the lawn overlooking Mirror Lake, waiting 335 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.559 for the fireworks at nine point thirty. 336 00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.319 Fair enough. 337 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.480 I just wanted to call and say how much I 338 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.480 love Dylan Bow and Bo belated Happy birthday. 339 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.599 Oh thanks so much. 340 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.319 I can't believe the two of you are actually on vacation. 341 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:06.160 I didn't think you ever took a vacation. 342 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.759 We just started taking baking. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. 343 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.720 Sorry, it seems like. 344 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.240 You just go, go go, But I have studied that 345 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.079 we have a long history with the Winnaker Band. They 346 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.279 played at my cousin Christine and Mark's wedding, which is 347 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.480 almost forty years ago. And then when I got married, 348 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.119 I wanted them, but they weren't available, so we had 349 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.519 to go with somebody else, not the big band, but 350 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:42.000 not the Winnaker Band, but we when my dad loved 351 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.720 big band music, and when we found out that the 352 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:50.119 Winnakers were playing at Skipjacks at Copley, we started taking 353 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.200 my parents there and it just became a regular routine 354 00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.119 of going there to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. And I 355 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.160 have two boys, and they both took up clarinet and 356 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:09.240 the Winnakers they welcomed him and he would play. The 357 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.839 older son. The younger son did it once or twice, 358 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.240 but the older son was a regular. So we would 359 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.880 go to Skipjacks for Sunday brunch and my son, who 360 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.400 was eight at the time, would men carrying a clarinet 361 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.240 and Bill and Bo would be waving us in and 362 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.359 so excited to see us. And you know, they always 363 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.119 let Alex come up and play with them a song 364 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.400 or two, which was wonderful because it really, you know, 365 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.559 inspired my son to continue playing. He played for a 366 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:46.039 few years through middle school, and then once Skip Jacks closed, 367 00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.440 it was very sad because we sort of lost touch 368 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.400 with them. And it wasn't until my mom, sadly was 369 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.559 in her mid nineties and she happened to be in 370 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:05.839 rehab at Life Care Center and acting and hadley. It 371 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:10.079 was about a week before she passed, actually, but I 372 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.200 saw on the calendar that the Winnakers were going to 373 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.119 be there in the garden one night. It was in June. 374 00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.960 It was actually seven years ago, right around this time, 375 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.640 and so we took my dad and my mom out 376 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:28.079 and my mother said, oh, they'll never recognize me, and 377 00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:29.759 you know what I mean, I have tears in my 378 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.519 eyes now. I mean, they knew who my parents were. 379 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.599 They were so excited to see us. And I know 380 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.559 your other guest has said out you know, everyone's family 381 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.880 or friends and they never forget you, they never do 382 00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:47.359 and never. It meant so much to me that night, 383 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:52.000 the way they embraced us in my parents and so 384 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.079 they were always very special to us, and you know, 385 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.160 my because of my dad and his love for the 386 00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.160 big band music. You know, they were always so gracious 387 00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:03.680 to him. They played any song he wanted to hear 388 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:09.319 on Sundays. But then my son got married and they 389 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:13.119 had a reception at Savor in Boston, and so my 390 00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.480 husband was thinking and asking them, you know, do you 391 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.920 need a band, and they were like, oh, we want something, 392 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.039 you know, just small, and so he immediately looked up 393 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.799 Bill and Bow and saw that they were playing at 394 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.680 Niroli's and Norwood. So we took my daughter in law 395 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.400 out there to hear them because my son works for 396 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.799 Arsenal soccer team, so he's in London. So we knew 397 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.559 he loved We knew he loved Bill and Bow, but 398 00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:38.039 we needed to get her approval, of course. So we 399 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.559 went out for dinner last August and I had my 400 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:44.880 fingers crossed under the table and she loved them, of course, 401 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.559
