1000 Years of Lithuanian Music and Dance Festival

At Kalnu Park, the "Opening Ceremony" of the Song and Dance Festival, Thursday July 2. This piece is done to a traditional Christmas song. In the background are the hundreds of choirs and musicians; all music and singing is live. It was truly a wonderful program that cycled through the folk songs and dances of the years.

My mother's parents were born in Lithuania. My mom was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up speaking English and Lithuanian. I miss her very much (Sept. 1, 1914-June 14, 2006). She used to sing a Lithuanian lullaby to me when I was very young. ♫♥♫

@Billabromitis My grandparents moved a lot and my mother went to several elementary schools on Cleveland's east side. Her brother and my dad were good friends and that's how my parents met and settled on the west side.
