We had a Sax player , guitar, banjo's, mandolins and a piano player in family I have no talent put can turn on radio :-) Love the music so I danced !
So You Was The Dancer! I have 3 girls and 1 son. They Do Like to sing. Guess they get that from my Wife. She has a Beautiful Voice. I like To Sing Too! The Lord Said Make A Joyful Noise He Did'nt Say You Had To sound Good.

Thanks Jim . He really liked it and a jam session every week kept our feet happy with the rhythm . I sure miss him so thanks for stopping to give a nice comment ! :-)
It reminds me of my Dad. He taught me all the stringed instruments. He and i would sit on the back porch and serenade the birds, squirrels and deer(our only neighbors). Thanks so much for sharing that with us, me especially! Jimbo
