my mom's surgery went well! at her check up today, her doctor said that there were no complications and she should continue to rest and have the medicinal eye drops. it's so nice to relax and listen to my brother-in-law play the piano. he dedicated this song to my dad who liked his evening glass of wine, as did his mom, my grandmother josephina, who liked to drink her very inexpensive thunderbird wine, which is what this song is about.
(i cut off quickly at the end as my brother-in-law has never liked me taping (filming) him! unfortunately, i've been doing it ever since i was six years old and he would come over and play the piano at my childhood home. he was sixteen and my sister was fifteen. they first met at st. john's lutheran church when they were in high school. one christmas i received a tape recorder and i used to hide the microphone behind the sheet music holder on the piano top. i don't know if i still have those old cassette tapes).
