Call & Response

The Call: Duo — Cheryl

Nearly all of the kids have picked up guitars and played around with them (because Dennis owns so very many!), but none of them have spent as much time plucking, playing, learning and composing as Henry. He and his father have even built a guitar — a Flying V that needs little more than veneer, a few coats of stain and poly, strings, knobs and electric innards.

The Response: Bruno — Jessica

My husband is a musician. Some of you may not know exactly what that means. Let me tell you — it means that our bedroom is stuffed to overflowing with gear. Amps, guitars, keyboards, drums, speakers, cords and cables…all over the place. Filling one closet and hindering access to another. It would really get on my nerves, but when he plays and the kids all jump around and try to play too — well, all I can think is what great memories they will have of their father who played music.
