For the first time in quite a while, I have spent the evening playing music with my son, Jason. Excellent guitarist! To my delight, he has surpassed his dad in skill.(Except for, maybe, Mississippi John's stuff, etc.)

Of course we do not compete. We enjoy one anothers various styles, and embellish it when we can.

Times like this are like rare and precious jewels. These are the joys that cause one to realize that life, in all it's grind and rush, is to be lived to the fullest. The hard times, though they may be many, do not out-weigh the times of joy, though they may be rare.

Since I shared my pain with my Mudcat family, I wanted to share my joy with you also.

May you all have moments like this!
