It's Mother's Day.

Mine... not a music fan. Not even a little. (seriously, my Mama really don't dance, and my Dad just plays the banjo) But she recognized long ago I was quite passionate about it, and encouraged me in her own passive ways.

Now she wonders aloud - ...if you already have one of the best basses in the world, why on Earth would you need two? Well, Mom... because I need the best fretless bass in the world too... =)

Happy Mother's Day to all it applies.

About twenty years ago my Mom had a revelation when talking to one of her friends. Her friend asked:
So what is Paul doing now?

After some reflection on the question (my day job was manufacturing) my Mother answered:
Oh, he's a musician!
:-D
She finally understood how passionate I am about playing/ making/ creating music!

Happy belated Mother's day to all the Mothers in Alembic land including Susan and Mica !

I visited my Mother yesterday with a Spring Bouquet of flowers in my hand and a card. At mothers day I always write on the card ;
Mutter Fruhling ,in German that spells Mother Spring . At 89 years of age she still gets a kick out of that . ( in spelling fruhling there are 2 dots over the u, umlaut).
