Yes, Bob... you are making perfect sense to me.

We did a lot of road trips when I was a kid... and the songs he sang while driving sure made the time fly! His presentation was flawless... though somewhat informal on the open road... and his left foot was keeping time (windshield wipers are over rated in the 'keeping time' dept.) while we all sang with him...

After dinner, he'd often get his guitar out and walk back into the kitchen playing and singing with the guitar body up against his cheek...

He learned all his music by ear, and that old record player sure came in handy...
