In a “pop-up” duet performance, John and Pasha Buck played on the Buckley patio of The Mayflower Community (Grinnell IA) last Sunday (April 5th) to celebrate Palm Sunday.
John played trumpet and baritone in junior high and high school and stand-up bass viola for the Marshalltown area Lucky Seven Dance Band in the 1950s. Since then, he has played tuba and guitar.
Pasha grew up playing piano and learned organ in college. She has performed as organist for churches in Nebraska and Kansas. When John and she married in 1994, members of the old Lucky Seven band would come to the farmhouse and play in the living room. Pasha joined in with them using a borrowed tenor sax, learning to play by ear.
John and Pasha have played in the West Marshall Community Band, in their own “Remnants of the Lucky Seven,” and in various performances at the Veterans Home in Marshalltown and other local venues.
Pasha has been serving since last summer as interim chaplain in The Mayflower Community.
