Hi,
A year ago or so I uploaded a variety of photos of mine for the original owner who was busy, and occasionally I deleted spam. since then the blog has stagnated for months until the blogger.com decided to upgrade their software and abandon the old style log-in.
Apparently when I went in to fix a photo link I had moved on a remote site- I re-activated the decommissioned blog and it forced a switch over to the new upgrade and new log-in. In the process I somehow cut the former owner out and she hasn't responded to emails nor contacted me, so I am going by the assumption that it was abandoned due to the time factor.
So I'll be happy to keep it up and running then.
Feel free to post comments etc as before.

Mrs. Smith's fourth grade class chose doctors and hospitals as their topic. This was a relatively easy one to research, and the class ended up with far more information than we were able to use in our song.
In the process of writing this song, it was very apparent to me how drastically our time limit affected the end result. James had only 90 minutes with each class. During this brief period he spent a few minutes breaking the ice, chatting with the kids and playing requests or snatches of song on his guitar. Then he turned the discussion to what kind of sound they wanted the song to have, and possibly to what focus to take. (In some cases, he and Mrs. Panning and I had made that decision ahead of time.) Then, they worked to put together a song that would use as much of the info that the kids had gathered as possible, but would still hold together as stylistic and thematic whole.
In this case, we bombarded James with the names of so many doctors and hospitals from over the years, that he felt we really had to narrow down and concentrate on one or two. He suggested using the names McCrary and McVeigh, both because they sound great together and because both of them represented more than one generation of doctors who had served Lake City.
We ended up starting the song back in the earliest pioneer days, when doctors nearly all made house calls, which wasn't a simple thing in those days of few roads, many sloughs and harsh winters.
The first Dr. McCrarys in Lake City were Dr. J.R. McCrary and Dr. Delbert McCrary, both sons of pioneer Andrew McCrary, who brought his family to Lake City in 1875. Delbert McCrary opened his first medical practice in Lake City in 1899, in a store formerly owned by Peter Smith, which was
This song was written by Mrs. Caldwell's second grade class. The square was such a fun topic, and there were lots of fascinating pictures of the square at various times in Lake City History.
The square has always been the center of town. In the very earliest years, the Calhoun County Courthouse was located there. When the courthouse was moved to Rockwell City, the City Council decided to preserve the square as an open space for town gatherings. This is how Lake City became one of the very few Iowa towns to have open town squares.
We decided to focus on celebrating the square's role as a gathering place. We started by looking back to the days when the vehicles parked around the square were buggies. The great picture is featured on the DVD.
The bandstand that currently graces our square is a replica of the first one that was built in 18xx. There was a very different style of bandstand during the middle of the twentieth century. Several people related their memories of coming to town to listen to the band during this period. People would park all around the square to listen to the music, and would sound their horns as applause. Most seem to remember the band as being a local group that played here every week or two during the warm months.
Lake City seems to have had musical people throughout much of its history. I particularly enjoyed the self-portraits taken by . Also the early bands look like fun. And of course today we are blessed by having an outstanding music program in our schools. With Mrs. Panning doing marvelous work in our elementary schools, and Mr. Stevens and Mr. Plummer leading our vocal and band students to one award after another (including the 2006 state championship jazz band--our fourth year running!) Lake City is growing it own musicians, and establishing a tradition to be proud of.
