forever friends

My husband Ed and John Snyder have been making music together for almost 60 years, Ed on the piano and John on the harmonica. Ed and John were both Psi U's at Michigan State University back in the late 40s and early 50s, and Ed even lived with John's family in East Lansing after John had graduated. John was a groomsman in our wedding 41 years ago, and we doubled out with him and his now-deceased wife Betty on their first date. Even though John has lived in the Washington, DC area for 50 years, and Ed and I have been in the Detroit area all of our married life, we've remained best friends. So when John planned a trip to Michigan to celebrate his 60th high school reunion, he naturally included an overnight visit with us. And it's been great! Not only do we make music together--I add voice to the mix--but we share our artistic passions as well, John with his videos, and me with my photos. There's nothing like old friends to warm your heart.
