We all know how much Dad loved jazz. Whenever I heard a sax I thought of him. One of my memories of him was when he came to pick up my brothers and I one weekend. Before we left for the weekend, the four of us played a "combo", as he called it. Dad on sax, Mike on drums, me on violin, and Mark on trumpet. I don't even remember the song we played...just that we did.
After Dad's 70th birthday, Adam stayed in Virginia for a longer visit with his Grandpa. One day he and Dad were sitting around talking and Dad was playing his sax. Without Dad's knowledge, Adam used his cell phone to record him. Thank you Adam for giving us the gift of not only hearing him on sax but to hear his voice as well, for as long as we want.

ReplyDeleteLove this. Thank you guys. And especially "thank you" to Adam for saving it for so long. I will never get tired of listening. And I think it's so neat how he played "How Great Thou Art" at the end. Perfect.
