Doug,
Thanks for the heartwarming analogy. I too remember the 'early years'. My Dad called me downstairs and watched me expression as I first viewed my Farfisa surprise! He and I use to go to restaurants and bars to watch various keyboard players. When 16 -17 years old, I hung out with Dad while he mingled in a part time job at a music retailer selling Gulbransens. It is only today, after his death, that I realized the bond we actually shared. I am thankful everday that he passed his music love to me.
