Hi, Fellow Mudders,

I know you all don't know my brother, Del, except what I've posted about him and his classical music and songs.

He's the oldest of us five. This is his first birthday without our mom and he's really missing her.

We're having him over for taco salad and carrot cake tonight.

If any of you feel like it, I will print out any b-day greetings and give them to him.

He is responsible, in a large way, for my early music training. I've got an ear that is really well trained because of his making it fun and challenging when I was little. His music is, as far as I am concerned as a musician, some of the very best out there for classical and his songs melt my heart.

Thanks a bunch. Feel free to totally ignore this thread.
