Buzz Around West Bridgewater
Massachusetts Walking Tour Comes to Town


Yes, they walked from concert to concert, usually eight to thirteen miles!
These modern-day bards, who combine artistry, music and culture promote artistic diversity and positive uses for recreational land use, graced WB with  a performance on June 26 at the West Bridgewater Public Library.
This free show involved local musicians and artists, making it an eclectic combination of talent; with groups such as Andy & Judy, The Male Bonding Band, Capriol Consort; poets Faye George and Winston F Bolton; and Jim Weidenfeller's Photography.  
The Massachusetts Walking Tour completed the evening with a beautiful combination of folk harmonies. 
A big thank you to The Friends of the Library and The West Bridgewater Cultural Council for sponsoring this wonderful event

Male Bonding Band - WB library
The Male Bonding Band got together as members of the Bridgewater State University Alumnae Choir, and now they play around at parties.  

  
The Massachusetts Walking Tour finished up their travels in Kingston last week, saying: "Thank you to our friends and family, to all the local artists and promoters, and to all our sponsors who helped make the 2015 Massachusetts Walking Tour the best year yet. 
The Bay Circuit Trail has been "crushed," and 13 community concerts given along the way. It couldn't have been possible without help from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, New England Mountain Outfitters (NEMO), the Bay Circuit Alliance, and Mr. Bill Condry. 
Much love, Mandy, Mama Duck, Crusher, Spanky and Bubbles"

Historical Tidbit:
Independence Day
 John Adams Photo via Wikipedia
 
The Declaration of Independence has five parts. They are: the Preamble, the Statement of Human Rights, Charges Against Human Rights, Charges Against the King and Parliament, and the Statement of Separation and Signatures. 
 
56 people signed the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote the majority of it. The writing committee was: Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston and Thomas Jefferson.  Both Thomas Jefferson  and John Adams (pictured) died on July 4, 1826. 
 
July Fourth is the "biggest hot dog holiday of the year," according to TIME magazine, with Americans reportedly consuming about 155 million of them on Independence Day alone. 
 
"According to legend, on July 4, 1776, John Adams...and his wife, Abigail, sat down for a celebratory meal of turtle soup, New England poached salmon with egg sauce, green peas and boiled new potatoes in jackets. They followed the meal with Indian pudding or Apple Pandowdy," wrote Justine Sterling for Delish.com in 2011.
