In Oz we have Father's Day in September, but as it happens, today would have been my dad's birthday. He was a lot older than my mum, and he died in 1982.

We had our differences, but there are two things that I really owe to him - musical ability and a sense of humour. That sense of humour has got me through some tough times over the years, and the music? Well without that, life would be pretty dull, and I wouldn't be posting here on Mudcat!

So here's a thought for you, dad.
