my mom was in a band for many years, and opened for big names like jerry lee lewis back in the day and kenny rogers.
she knew a ton of folks, even the hee-haw gang. too funny.
she passed recently but my 2 brothers and i watched her practice w/a really good band. so, we all got into music.
but not like she was. i just sing for fun, play piano and guitar by ear, nothing special.
she passed not long ago. but she was a cool mom. :-)
