Well, thanks, for that, Dan...my dad is only 14 years younger than yours, fortunately still here, but I count every day as a blessing that has him in it. Like your dad, mine is mostly self-taught, an insatiable reader, and passed on his love of music to all five of his children. Music is his consuming passion, now, sustaining him through each day, as he shares it with the "old folks" in nursing homes.

Happy Birthday, William Milner. You've a fine son and we're grateful for your sharing him.
