AmericaJR’s Jerome and Gloria Rzucidlo were LIVE at Greenfield Village for the 2023 “Salute to America” special event. It was held from June 30 to July 3 celebrating the birthday of the U.S.A. And what a celebration it was. It was the perfect summer day with temps around 85 degrees. We began the evening at Henry Ford’s birth home where there was 19th-century fiddle music playing outside the home. He was dressed in garb of that era. As we strolled further, we came across the Dodworth Saxhorn Band which was a brass ensemble playing on authentic 19th-century instruments. We walked down Main Street where there were several places to eat such as the Carousel concessions, Sir John Bennett Sweet Shop and a frozen custard shop. Down by the Edison statue was Ragtime Music being played by Taslimah Bey on piano. I love listening to those ragtime tunes.
