Entries for April 19 - 1911 and 2011

Rita's Entry: Wednesday, April 19, 1911
Went to orchestra practice - Rain.  Few there.  Long wait.  I was first chair, second fiddle.  Too much responsibility for Little Ritie.  Practiced all afternoon.

IN RITA'S DAY AND TODAY:  I've been curious about the position , first chair, second violin... I learned that first chair, first violin in an orchestra is the concert master (or mistress) and second to the conductor.  Usually the next best violinist is assigned 2nd violin, first chair so it was an honor for Rita.

Judy's Entry: Tuesday, April 19, 2011
My mother has been lucky and unlucky.  She won a 40 inch TV set and then she got a toothache and we had to go to the dentist.  Bad news.  She needs a root canal.  We went and she had her first round of work.  Next Tuesday she has to go again.  Today is Cathy's b'day and she and Doug came over for pie.  Mom was able to eat everything so things are okay for her.
