My Dad

My Dad was everything to me... Musical partner... Teacher of good music (ie 40's) Ace pool player, poker player Beer drinkin' Buddy World's best Harmonica Player!! Best friend... Supporter at all times... Inspiration for me to cook great meals... Chef's assistant at Thanksgiving (we always held it - 3 days prep- ridiculous over- abundance of food, including NY Cheesecake (Out of this world-ask for recipe..) Dutch apple raisen pecan pie, A table full of appetizers... more...) Co-conspirator of jokes and skits.. Primary cameraman. Instiller of the Bell heritage... From which I became the family historian and producer of 28 hours of video tapes of every family picture, from 1890, all explained in writting, accompanied by a memorable soundtrack...distributed throughout family. Disciplinarian when I was naughty (oh, yeah, I'm a baaaadddd bbooooyyy-Lou Costello) He is dead but not gone...not while I'm alive...
