What's Spinning

So my dad died today. My wife's father, a doctor in NY, is in the ICU. She's with them in Ny and I'll do the things here for home schooling, my job, our kids. Fucking virus.

My dad loved jazz. He gave me a copy of Time Out when I turned 16. We didn't have a lot at that time, but he was good man that knew his son.

There is no mourning, because for the next 30 days or so, I just need to "dad" and help my wife be with her family (quarantine and all) and keep the kids sane and removed from quite this level of reality.

But I thank you all. For a virtual record shop, a bunch a people listening to the album's in the basements of their youth and still connected to all the art and music that might yet come and the joy of creation still. I can't play Time Out, but he might have liked this -- or maybe thought it was too modern :)

I'm thankful for you all. For each small kindness or sense of welcome you've shown to me or others please know it counts.

All the love and white light20200424_222526.jpg to you and yours. EST, live in Gothenburg.

So sorry Huddie. Sounds like you have some great memories of your dad to pass along to your kids. Sending good vibes to you and your family.

"Realizing you're not going to see that person again is always the most difficult part about it. But that feeling settles, and then you are glad you had that person in your life, and then the happiness and the sadness get all swirled up inside you." - John Prine

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, losing someone is never easy, in these times, even worse. As @Yer Ol' Uncle D mentioned, memories will keep him in your heart forever. Gone but never forgotten.
 
Sorry to hear the news, a terrible loss for you and your family , Hold on to the good and disperse with the bad.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's a big hole, and while there may be no mourning, sounds like there will be honoring of your dad's legacy with your own "dad-ing." Be sure to mix in some jazz.
