There were lots of good guesses on the "watzat?" but the closest anyone got was realizing it was glass. Does anyone remember Royall Lyme cologne? I loved that stuff when I was a teen. After my mom died several years ago, we were cleaning out the storm cellar I lived in for my senior year of high school. (It had electricity and telephone and a built-in desk.) There were several Royall Lyme bottles that I had saved. This is one of them. The "watzat?" shot was taken from above (hence the blurry center).
For the last several days I have been working on another arrangement for handbells, one that combines Amazing Grace and Farewell to Tarwathie. The cool thing is that I finally bought some software that allows me to compose on my computer. Since I do not have aMIDI keyboard, it means figuring out keystrokes. But the best part is that I can start at any measure and play back what has been written. That makes editing a lot easier. I still have a lot to learn (for example, how do you number the measures?), but it is a lot easier than writing it out by hand.

Amaazing! Even now, knowing that is what the picture is, I have a hard time imagining those two photos are of different parts of the same thing. I never heard of that stuff!
I hope maybe you can find a way for us distant folks to hear your music.
Storm cellar? Are there pictures? Tell us more!
I could not tell that was glass.
I would love to hear you arrangements.
I remember it, along with Old Spice in the brown bottle, the name I can't recall, but remember that my MOM liked to wear it. Tossed her White Shoulders for a mens aftershave. Wonder what deep psychological meaning that has?? I notice you have flipped your blog and now my brain will have to adjust to reading it differently. Gosh, I don't know.
You lived in a cellar. And you're writing music for bells.
If I could spell Quasimodo I would so totally make a smart-ass comment about that.
