Unfortunately this photo is fading and is almost gone....it is not as clear as we would
like it but I wanted to post it now before it is lost forever.
This picture of grandpa was taken at the first house in Port Washington circa 1940, making grandpa about 46 years old at the time...
As I said in previous stories, I remember him playing a mandolin and singing but in this picture he is playing a guitar.Both my sons Michael and Ron play the guitar and several other musical instruments...I guess they get their talent from their great grandfather...Guess it skips a generation, all I could play was a comb and a piece of toilet paper....I am not kidding, when I was a tot my father taught how to play the comb...I never excelled at it, because I stopped needing one at a very early age...unfortunately, that part I inherited from grandpa....This is one of my favorite pictures of him.....fortunately for us having these pictures to look at, we are able to see the many different sides of the people we only remember as being old....See kids, all of us were young once.....

NICE PICTURE.

One thing to remember about life, is that Pictures fade, but memories don't.
Great Picture

Great picture. Can you edit it? Would love a copy. Wish I had seen this side of Grandpa. I do remember the mandolin, but only on holiday nights after he had much wine.
There is where I inherited my musical roots.
The BB's now have an ancestor.
