Day 455: THE Book

In the Landrum/Brescia Household, there are two vital books. One is The Good Book and the other is THE Book. The Good Book is obviously The Holy Bible, but the very close runner up in valuable book is the music anthology that we refer to as THE Book. I don't really know too much of the history of how long we have had THE Book in the family, but it was in Papa B.'s care for the longest time, and it has finally been passed down to me. It's old enough that it was around before my mom's birth because once she was born and was a little girl taking piano she played To a Wild Rose out of it. Papa B. always used to play The Swan out of it. It is falling apart especially on the pages that were used a lot. It will be a constant reminder of the musical gift that was passed down from my grandfather because along with The gift, THE Book was passed down and it will stay in the family forever.
