You're so right, Cindy. We're some proud of both of our traditional music-making sons. Son #2 plays fiddle, banjo, mandolin and guitar, sings bloody well, and has even contributed a few new songs to the mix. Son #1 has dropped a few nice, trad-sounding tunes into the pot, too. Guess we must have done something right, although no one seems to go into parenting with any knowledge of what the heck they're doing. If the result turns out to be a good one, we can thank our lucky stars, or the parents whose example we either emulated or rebelled against. In our day, Dr. Spock may have helped a little, too. He taught us to trust them.
