Dad was like an older brother to me. The first song he taught me to play was RED RIVER VALLEY on my 1949 Silvertone from Sears, Roebuck and Co.

One of my brothers and I have recorded a Memorial to our Dad, SOMEWHERE THE ANGELS SING A SONG FOR ME, on which I am playing his 1972 SHO-BUD Steel Guitar.

Touching. I'm sure your dad is smiling when he hears this.
