  • Alex updated his blog with photos from Japan.

    He'd been to Shimoda last week.  He pointed out there are some pix on the official Seventh Fleet Band website so off I went to take a gander, hoping  -  as a fond mother is wont to do  -  to see her son get some appropriate recognition.

    Hmmmm.  As is so truly said, be careful what you wish for....you just might get it.    Oh, look.  I found him!  Here he is on the stop in Hong Kong when he was on the Blue Ridge earlier this year:

    As the caption on the website explains:  "Musician 3rd Class Matthew Anderson plays the trombone
    and Musician 3rd Class Alex Ivy rides the tuba pretending it’s a motorcycle to introduce the different
    instruments they play during a performance at Yew Chung International School in Hong Kong."

    Yup.  That's my boy.  The one riding the tuba. 

    This is a much nicer picture:

  • I myself often confuse a motorcycle with a tuba.  I try not to sit in front of a tuba at a band concert just in case I've read the situation wrong.

    Great pics of Alex!

  • Love 'em! You can tell that Alex really enjoys his job.  Too cool!

  • Those are great pictures. Alex is wonderful with kids isn't he?

  • That's a fact! You should hear the shrieks of excitement from the grandkids and nieces when they hear "Uncle Alex is coming!"

    Absolute pandemonium. =8^o
