Entries for Jan 23 -- 1911 and 2011

Rita's Entry: Monday Jan 23, 1911
Fooled with Helen and Tin.  Got some harmony.  Went down for lesson at 11:30.  Late.  Got along pretty weel.  Am to have Rode Concerto instead of sonata now.  After girls left, fooled.  Had to take fiddle down to Wagner & George to have bridge put in.  Met Tin.  Bo't concerto at Lyon & Healys.  After dinner played.  Mr. S amused us.  Retired awfully early.  9:30.


IN RITA'S DAY:  Lyon and Healy in Chicago, pictured above, was one of the largest music publishers in the world and sold new/antique pianos, violins and other instruments.  The "store" was very imposing and included a reception area.

Judy's Entry: Sunday, Jan 23, 2011
No church for me today.  Went to look at a house my daughter and her husband are thinking about buying.  I went with  her mother and father-in-law.  There were just too many of us there giving opinions.  The house is a sort of fixer upper and they are nervous about it.  I am going to try to stay out of it.  Practiced a bit, talked to kids, watched football.



TODAY:  Lyon and Healy has a modern look (above).  The store has undergone many changes, including new buildings after several fires.  Today L&H only deals in harps.
