Daddy sang bass (Momma sang tenor)
Me and Lil brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help the troubled soul
--Daddy Sang Bass, Carl Perkins, 1968
--recorded by Johnny Cash, 1969
Mom and Dad denied any musical talents, but they lied. I got my musical abilities from someone, and my middle brother can also sing pretty well. In this posting I explore and reveal my personal musical history. If this seems too self-serving, I apologize in advance, but I'm getting tired of having to tell this story over and over.
