I have been doing a lot of family research, lately. Found some rogues and others to ponder. I've been asking my dad a lot of questions about this and that, as I find out more. He will be 84 years old on the 8th, just a few days from now. I have this feeling of time slipping by; a great need to visit with him as often as possible, to garner all of his stories and memories while I still can. Mudcat has helped tremendously with this, as it has brought us together, again, in music (at least in a long distance way; we live about 7 hours apart), as my whole family was when we were growing up. I am grateful for this rekindling between us. Please join me in wishing my dad, Gardner Lorenzo "Sparky" Hudson a very

Happy 84th Birthday!

Thanks,
