But unlike your dad, mine never took up the piano or any other musical instruments. I never met your dad in person but I feel like I know him because of your wonderful descriptions and tributes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17279689.post-37981813691174006162008-04-20T23:07:00.000-04:002008-04-20T23:07:00.000-04:00Aww!

He played Waltzing Matilda all the time, and whistled it when he wasn't at the keyboard. And he never would explain why!kaykatrnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207090422673608991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17279689.post-53162280419669778522008-04-18T18:56:00.000-04:002008-04-18T18:56:00.000-04:00So lovely.
