The man on the mandolin, there? That’s my DAD. 🙂
Most folks call him “Buddy Mike” because he’s a friend to everyone. If you saw the pictures from the book launch party, he was the music and folks had such a great time singing along. He is such a great dad and the little guy you see there is baby Caleb. I took some pictures while we were in my dad’s music room recently. He was working on composing and recording some bluegrass music for me to use in a rug-making video which I’m going to have for you all soon. But in the meantime, here are a few pictures of the work-in-progress!

Caleb just might grow up to play the banjo. What do you think? 🙂

My dad is one of my best friends in the whole world and whether it’s playing music, or singing or off on an adventure, we’re 2 peas in a pod. I am so blessed to have him.
The rug-making video is just about ready for you all. I’ll post it here very soon and you’ll be able to hear the fun music he wrote and recorded just for this project. I can’t wait!
Ah, Miss Joanne, When I Saw The Title ~*~ I had just put on my headphones to hear you and your Dad play!! Hmmm??? I’ll be looking forward to rug-making and the music!! And… little Caleb dancing in the background. Maybe he needs a ukelele to warm up on? Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House

Kathleen ~ The music is on its way! I’ts all finished and I’ve got it plugged into the video. Working on some finishing touches and then I’ll post it! Caleb just loved watching. He is grandpa’s boy. 🙂
Dad and I just read this together and he was very touched! He was also glad to do the original music for your video and had a lot of fun putting it together for you. Sending a big hug! Dad and Mom
Isn’t he precious? You’ve got a keeper, m’lady. Love you both! I’m so thankful for the music he did. He is the best!
There is something so special about the connection dads and daughters can share… I’m so glad you both share a cherished one! What a neat blessing. 🙂
Isn’t there? I’m so glad that you are so close to your dad. What a special thing for you and the kids to have him.

Thanks, Jess! Me and my iPhone camera 😉 we had a ton of fun. Video coming soon…but I warn you, I’m very dorky in it, lol.
It is such a blessing being able to see and hear about the close relationship you have with your father. Cherish it. And your little boy is adorable. He really seems to enjoy the music. I do believe he will be a musician one day. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Aw, I’m so glad Debbie. He is my best buddy. I just love him to pieces. And my little guy is crazy about him. All the kids are. He’s a great dad and a GREAT grandpa 🙂

I bet he does too, Diana! He just loves his grandpa so much and could watch him all day. 🙂 Looking forward to sharing the video with you!
I LOVE this! I love your dad and you and the music because I’ve heard it and the rug because I’ve seen it and oh my goodness you’re all just straight out of a storybook. A. Dorable.
Thanks, sweet friend. You are too fun! Oh, yes, you’ve seen the rug video…tehe. I love that he did the music just for that. He worked so hard and is so precious. 🙂
