Emily Lawton “plays the kettle” outside the Safeway at Bradlee Shopping Center. She is here from England to volunteer with the Salvation Army in Alexandria. She says the first time she came if was something different to do and she wanted to see the world and help people.

Emily Lawton pushes down the three piston valves in different combinations on her alto horn, pitched in E-flat and used in British style bands. She is "playing the kettle" as the glass doors automatically swing open but customers stop for a minute to listen before grocery shopping.
