My uncle played the fiddle at square dances and we used to take turns playing together.He taught me a couple of tunes to start me off.
    My mother used to sing songs all the time.She and my father used to quote poetry as well.My father was a wonderful man but he couldn't have carried a tune for his life. He used to love hearing my mother and I sing though.My mother played a little on the mouth organ and I learned to play a few tunes as well.
    I grew up on country music but switched to folk music upon hearing the artists of the day, i. e., Pete Seeger, The Weavers, Oscar Brand, etc. etc.
    I have never truly mastered an instrument but love to sing.
