He doesn't get his beautiful concertina out very often any more, but when he does we still love to sit and listen to him play.
This past weekend he got it out when Felicity came to visit. She absolutely loved it! He played a few songs and she stood right in front of him and danced with her doll the whole time. I hope she remembers her Great Grandpa playing for her when she is older. If not, we have this video to show her when she is grown.
This is priceless.....
Ah.. what a video for to have for years to come. I love how she's standing there swaying.. so sweet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should learn how to play it and then we could keep the tradition going..... ya know I do know how to play my dad's stump fiddle. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat memory for all the great grandkids.
CUTE!!
ReplyDeleteThat video clip is a wonderful memento to have of Great Granddad for Felicity.
ReplyDeleteI don't have Flash Player on tmy work computer...I gotta wait til I get home to see this....dang it all to heck!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a TREASURE! I love the sound of those beautiful melodies!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, and what a wonderful keepsake!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! What did we all do before videos? That is precious to have! ;D
ReplyDeleteI just called Dad over here to watch himself on video~~ He said he made a couple mistakes on that song. We have to get the concertina out more often. Thanks for the mamories-- Felicity is such a doll!!
ReplyDeleteTears........ I will never get tired of hearing him play. I wonder if God will let him play in heaven someday.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet! That's awesome you have it on video...what wonderful memories you'll have :)
ReplyDeletePS--I forgot to mention how cute Felicity looked enjoying the music and dancing and patting her baby's back...so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing! Grandparents are a wonderful blessing. Greats are beyond words. Thanks for sharing such a special moment.
ReplyDeleteThis was priceless Jules. It is also my and was my mom's favorite hymn. So bittersweet. Love Di ♥
ReplyDeletePrecious! She's lucky you have this memory captured for her.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I've been looking at your profile pic, and may I just say, you do not look like a woman who is old enough (or worn down enough! That would be me!) to have two grown children. Have you the fountain of youth in your backyard? May I come for a dip?
Awwww....so sweet. I haven't heard him play in so long.
ReplyDeleteSo precious. What a great memory to have caught on film.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treasure you have there sweetie. You little Felicity will adore this when she's older.
