I thought of my Dad, who was my musical inspiration, and when I was a youngster, I played the Red River Valley on harmonica while he played the fiddle. Just keep sharing your talent, and I'd really like to meet you someday. If your ever Arizona way, contact me via this video. I saved it and archived it.Take care my friend.
