Dad was musical.
Our parents met when him and uncle Brian were singing in churches around town. I didn't really understand music when I was young. I only really started listening to music when I was 16.
As time goes on, I see how much of dad was music. His parents made all of his siblings take music when they were kids. And most of them still play. Music theory was ingrained in dad. I still struggle to grasp it, and need hours of practice to figure anything out musically. For dad it seemed to come easy. He could hear a tune, know the key and know the chords in that key, play along and elaborate on a melody.
He was always singing something while we drove around BC. I would drift in and out of sleep to the sound of his barely audible tune, mostly catching a syllable here and there. The songs keep coming to me the more I play. I'll work to put down as many as I can here.
Do you have any suggestions? I'll keep picking out more.
