Life is short - begin every day with a smile!

Like many from my local area, I had the pleasure of watching Carson Peters grow up singing and playing his trademark sizzling fiddle.
The first time I saw this young man perform was in nearby Bristol, Virginia on the stage of a local Bluegrass Music show called The Pickin’ Porch.

Don’t you just love it when one of those car commercials pops up on your TV screen?

Regular visitors of this blog know how I usually write a few paragraphs about the topic of the day and then post a short video that’s somehow related to that topic.
Well, I spent some time last night searching for the perfect video for Father’s Day, and I quickly found one that needs no introduction whatsoever.
In fact, nary a word is spoken in the video itself…
But the message conveyed speaks volumes about the power of a loving father’s dedication to, and love for, his children (and grandchildren).
