I will always remember my younger years when Dad and Mum hosting parties with family and friends, dad would play the organ to entertain us. Bobby, Vincent, Odette and I would be singing and dancing as Dad played his harmonica. We always had music in our lives. Grandma told me that Dad was very gifted as he was able to play without even reading music. I am happy to say he passed his gift right down to his granddaughters. He is very pleased of that I know for sure. I am so glad we have these memories in home movies. Watching them brings back wonderful memories. Thanks for the gift of music Dad. - Posted by: Yvonne Tume (Daughter) on: Jul 12, 2015
