As we came up Seneca Lake, we took a few scenic routes looking at marinas and houses, checking out the fields of grapes. Crossing over to Cayuga Lake and then into Auburn and Skaneateles (they pronounce it "skinny- atlas")....we had been advised to not miss eating at Sherwood Inn on Skaneateles Lake. Built in 1807, it is a first rate place and has been featured in the Bon Appetit magazine. We truly enjoyed our experience there. Friday evening and the place was packed...wedding going on...and towns folk gathering for the community band concert. Good timing on our part as it proved to be a DELIGHTFUL bit of Americana...I resisted the urge to march and twirl. They even played a tune that Sousa had written for Kansas University...imagine that. We did get a song book and sang along with Harvest Moon and It's a Small World. Sure took me back to those days as a youngster in Fredonia playing in band concerts on the court house lawn...or marshaling those little girls who'd been taking twirling lessons. Has it really been so long ago???
