Grandad on the fiddle, uncle Hector on dobro guitar and mom on the accordion ... me, strumming my guitar (I was taught to play when I was 6.. the guitar was bigger than I was🤣), and me singing harmony to mom's beautiful melody. Those were the day!!</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for taking time to read and listen.... Tillie 😍</p><p><br></p><h2><br></h2><p><br></p>
