'Music washes away
from the soul the dust of everyday life.'
- Berthold Auerbach
I bought a few pieces of handwritten sheet music a while
back. The owner of the store told me the
sheet music came from the estate of Fredric J. Baur. Mr. Baur designed the can which holds
Pringle potato chips. He passed away in
2008 and, at his request, some of his ashes were buried in a Pringle can.
As I was looking over my images on the computer, I realized the name
at the bottom of the sheet music was not the Pringle can inventor's name. So I
googled it. It turns out Don
Spencer is an Australian musician who creates music for kids. Two of his songs are Don't Ever Step on a Snake and Bob
the Kelpie. On his website (you can
see it here) he has signed his first name. It looks a little like the signature on
the sheet music. (Although how many ways
can you sign the name Don?) I don't know
if it is Don Spencer the Australian musician's sheet music or not, but it made for an
interesting find.
I am joining Kim Klassen's Friday Finds. In creating my
images I used Kim's preset still in Lightroom and her texture 2110 in PS Elements. My finds this week are an Australian musician
and flowers that have looked beautiful all week.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great weekend!
