Last year we did a tribute to Matt. If you have never read it, you can find it HERE.
We will not be posting tomorrow, as we are off to the reunion in Tampa today.
Will have some catching up to do when we return on Monday.
Have a Great Weekend and be safe...
Some Tuneage to hold you over for four days...a smörgåsbord of genres - remember, it is always a great idea to hit the play button even if you do not know the artist...you can always stop it.
ENJOY!

Donna Summer does "On The Radio" ...hey, we worked as a DJ and did parties and weddings...and wore platform shoes back in the 70's, but that is a whole 'nother post...
OK...totally stealing this from one of our new friends, LeeLee and her Kitchen Concerts blog. The day she posted this song, we had digitized the album and had listened to this like 3 times at least.
The Band - "Chest Fever" from the Music From Big Pink album, a classic that should be in all collections IMHO
A live version of Muddy Waters doing "Got My Mojo Workin'"...loves me some Muddy

I've always loved that photo of you and your son doing the "musical jam." Great stuff, wonderful memories. Happy Birthday to your Matt. 21 - WOW.
Have a great time in Tampa, but don't forget to come back!!!
Oh, and Ravel first thing in the morning? Cool!
Happy B Day Matt! Be like your dad in spirit and generosity and you will be fine =)
Have fun in Tampa, Vinny. I am jealous! Will be hitting the Oregon coast this weekend but it won't be that warm :P
Oh and The Band and CCR are pretty much tied for my all time favorite 60's era band. Levon Helm is the man.
Happy 21st, Matt. Maybe your dad will let me take you out for a drink now.
Heh heh.
Ah to be 21 again.
Enjoy it Matt honey - it goes by faster than you think.
Looks like both father & son might be getting their drink on - both of you party it up safe (stay away from the ocean Vince). :P
Have a great and safe weekend honey (and make sure Nancy has a great time too). See you back on Monday.
SMOOCHES and HUGS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDSON
Just imagine how excited we were when our first grandchild was born 21 years ago and you will not have to imagine how proud we are of you today. You have grown in many positive ways over the last 21 years. You're charming (don't ever lose that smile), you're handsome (genes you know), you're caring, sensitive and very smart.
Stay the course!
WE LOVE YOU "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE"
GRANDPA & GRANDMA
