Have I mentioned that other than taking a few, brief piano lessons Dad is completely self-taught in regards to all musical instruments? He plays guitar, (picks at) banjo, (a tiny bit) piano, bass guitar, and most recently, double bass. Seriously, other than talking to Andrew (who played violin (very well I am told...)) a little, he has never had a lesson on the bass...just taught himself. The most annoying part is that he learns and practices by playing along with the radio...the entire house has to listen...it isn't always enjoyable. But according to Mom, who is his number 1 critic, he has gotten pretty darn good and even acts like he knows what he is doing.
Anyway, I should also mention that Jeff is the lead singer of the country group, Rocky Creek Band. They played at our reception...it was wonderful. He is married to my fifth grade teacher - one of my all time favorite teachers by the way - and they have two beautiful girls with amazing voices. Mandy and Shelby both sang at our wedding and are both trying to "find their break" with country music. Mandy has a single out...The Clown. And Shelby was crowned Miss UGA in the fall and will be competiting in Miss Georgia. Honestly y'all, they are both great - I would love for them to make it on the big stage on day. Until then, Shelby is stuck singing with out dad's...poor thing.
