The Sounds of Music




When my sister Eila and I were kids, almost everyone had a Piano, so music teachers were in demand. Our Parents, Maggie (Power) and Ted Donohue were very fond of music, so brought us in to Ultima each week for lessons. We both learned singing with Mrs Win Draper, a fine singer herself, and pianist. I also had piano lessons, while Mr Bob Gundlach taught Eila, violin. He was the proprietor of the barber shop and billiard  room.
