Uncle Fiddle Man passed away last night. My heart is sad. The addition of the violin music here is my tribute to him. There is a bittersweet kind of blessing in the music. It speaks more than my words can possibly say.
I was planning on logging on and wishing Mustang Man a happy birthday but now I see how inappropriate that would be. (but the thought is still there in keeping)
I'm very sorry for your loss.
(A Thought for the Family of Fiddle Man) When I logged on playing in the background was "Twin Fiddle Meledy" and if you would have asked me what I thought of the piece a couple years ago, and I'm ashamed to admit this, I would have said something slightly condecending about it having a strong backwater hillbilly feel to it and that I didn't really care for it and that I prefer something more classical. (in the back of my mind thinking the composition had little value)
Call it age, wisdom or that I am finally "getting it" but if you asked me today what I thought of "Twin Fiddle Meledy" I would still say that its not something I would normally listen to, but I would also tell you what a wonderfully cheery piece it was and that I now see great value in the world having someone able to put together such wonderfully cheery and celebratory music.
The only thing ordinary about average men, women and children is the misconception that commonality somehow devalues the rare beauty that each of our lives hold.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know what that pain feels like. I try to prepare myself that family will not always be on this earth, but each time it happens, I always feel taken off guard. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
