To be fair, I thought that I would mention that I do come from a musical family. My mom was an excellent pianist, but never taught me to play. she did buy me my first guitar! I was a part of our family sing alongs. My both of my uncles sang and played guitar. My uncle George taught me some guitar when I was a teen. My grandfather played violin with the Chicago Symphony until he broke his shoulder when he fell on some ice. His father played fiddle in Iowa. My great uncle Frederick W. Agard sang at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago in the 1920's and was one of the first to be broadcast on radio. The station was WEBH which became WGN. This is a piece of sheet music with his picture on it that I somehow found on EBay. He was the "Ace of the Air". I chose to paint after seeing my Uncle Richard's work when I was 11 in New York state. It took me a long time to get into music (starting again at 57), but here I am! Thanks, Family!
