My father instilled in me my love for music. I learned to play piano and guitar when I was a teenager, and loved to sing. 
Music has the ability to transport us back to the place we were when we first heard a certain song, remind us of a person, settle its melody inside our head and into our soul.
I went with my husband to one of his violin lessons and enjoyed seeing how his teacher explained how he should feel the music, let himself go as he plays.
Here is my father singing, a recording from 1953 that I was able to convert to CD and then mp3. When I think of music, I think of him.

Wow, your father had a beautiful voice ~ I’m thinking Perry Como now. My mom had a great singing voice too, and that’s such a big part of my memories of her. She was always singing and I loved it!

Remarkable video. Your’re musical heritage is undeniable. My dad was a “bar room pianist” in his early days, not quite the caliper of Billy Joel, but later developing a love for the instrument and side jobbing as a piano tuner/technician.
Nice post! M 🙂

Thank you- I am so glad to still be able to hear his voice. How wonderful to have a father that played piano- I am always amazed when our piano technician comes- what a great ability to have

yes, that’s so true… sometimes even a song we hear from a store or via open car window can bring back a lot of memories… and different feelings… I wonder that even the bad or sad things come back with a song although we try so much to forget it… :o)

Your father was obviously a huge musical influence in your life – what a wonderful voice. Love the recording you made and I love this post. I share many of your loves. Music, playing classical guitar and singing … I grew up with that as well. Keep enjoying that music! xo 🙂
