365 THORA

Maayke @maaayke - My challenge for you is to take a picture inspired by your favorite movie, song or book.

Listening to music takes you down memory lane...

This was my grandmothers piece of "music". It was composed in about 1905, thus 110 years old. I never heard the music before and searched for it on Google tonight. What a surprise to hear it for the first time. Not my cup of tea, but it was a journey to listen to it. I place the links below.

It does sound like the songs I heard my parents play all those years ago! The piano is great. I wonder who Thora was, don't know anyone called that now!

@maggiemae I am searching for a postcard with a picture of a lady and the word THORA on it. I can't remember when grandma wrote on the back but must be before 1960. Grandpa died and she said that she always had to play this song.

I like the way you've put this together, Sylvia.; and you are right, to listen to the song is a journey into another time and world, almost.
