In my attic I have an old trunk that contains old black and white pictures of my family. Nearly all my family is gone now, save a sister, but on occasion I open up the trunk and walk down memory lane. It is a bitter sweet experience. I would love to sit with my grandfather before he died and have him tell me stories about the people and places in these old photos. What brings up this subject is a song out now that speaks to this very issue and it is one of my favorites. It sung by a man with a deep country voice as he listens to his grandpa telling stories about old black and white pictures. Hope you like it.

Hi Fred :)

Your grandfather looks very handsome and stylish like Gregory Peck.

Many thanks for the lovely antique photo and excellent music.

Have a wonderful day :)

Hi Joseph,
Glad you liked the music.
Actually I took the photo off the internet because I thought it captured the spirit. I suppose my granddad looks something like that fellow.
God bless,
Fred
