Generations make music together at the museum

By Joan Janzen

Kindersley & District Plains Museum was filled with the sound of music on Tuesday evening, August 22nd. More than a dozen musicians strolled through the doors for another jam session at the museum. They all hauled their instruments and equipment and began setting up on the stage like a well-oiled machine.

Musicians of all ages were in attendance, all happily making music together. A small audience listened intently to Generation Z accompany Baby Boomer musicians, performing tunes they would likely hear for the first time. And the more senior musicians in the group strummed along with songs Generation Z were playing.

An obvious passion for music was melding the generations together while musicians honed their skills and provided entertainment for those listening. The audience included a three-year-old (Generation Alpha) who insisted her mom bring her to the museum to listen to the music.
