My Grandfather yesterday turned 95 and he is the reason I play music. My grandpa used to play piano in dance bands throughout the 40s and up into the 70s was still performing in lounges throughout Manitoba. He gave me the ukulele and encouraged me to learn music, not just play rock and roll. I was blessed to play music for him yesterday and I sang songs from his youth. Tunes he would have played for folks as they danced their nights away and made memories beneath the prairie sky. George Ryckman I owe you a debt I can never repay, my love of music. Live on piano man.
