Happy Friday everyone! We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. This week we arranged and performed a medley of New York tunes to say how much we love New York, that we are thinking of all the folks there who are going through so much hardship and how we hope to return there someday.

Stay healthy and be good to each other!

Members of the Kingston Symphony have discovered a way to maintain social distancing and still unite to play together, in harmony. Recorded in isolation they have come together in a virtual performance of the finale of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3.

We chose the finale of Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony for its timely and inspiring themes of heroism and perseverance. Stay well and we look forward to seeing you again in the concert hall very soon!

This week we arranged and performed “Dat Dere” for your amusement. Chris Alfano & Katie Legere Video link to YouTube Here

Here are the lyrics:

Hey Daddy, what’s dat dere?
And what’s dat under dere?
Oh Daddy, oh hey Daddy, hey look at over dere!
And what dey doing dere?
And where dey go in dere?
And Daddy can I have dat big elephant over dere?

Hey, who’s dat in my chair?
And what she doing dere?
And Daddy, hey Daddy, can I go over dere?
Hey Daddy, what is a square?
And where do we get air?
And Daddy can I have dat big elephant over dere?

My quizzical kid! Man, he doesn’t want anything hid!
He’s forever demanding to know Who, what and why and where! Inquisitive child! And sometimes the questions get wild!
Like “Daddy can I have dat big elehpant over dere?”

Don’t wanna comb my hair.
And where’s my teddy bear?
Daddy, oh hey! Look at the cowboy coming dere!
Hey, can I have a pair of boots like dat to wear?
And Daddy can I have dat big elephant over dere?

The time will march, the years will go
The little fellow’s gonna grow
I gotta tell him what he needs to know
Help him along so he’ll know right from wrong
Gotta make him strong
