All in the Family

When I was a kid, I heard music all the time. My Dad was a blues man, born and raised in Chicago. We had just about every instrument in our house at our disposal, from tin whistles to guitars to pianos. Dad would play guitar and sing all the time, and I only discovered later, when I started performing, how truly important music was, and is, to him.

Dad recently sent me the link to this interview on 60sgaragebands.com where he describes his experiences as a young and talented musician in Chicago in the 60's. Some stories I knew about, others were new to me. Now I understand where it all comes from, this music brewing in my soul...

So it was an extra special treat to perform with my Dad during a recent gig. I could go on and on, but I think in this case, pictures really do say more than words.
