Note: In celebration of Father’s Day, I’ve revised and am re-blogging a post from June of 2013, the year my father passed away. He was still alive when this was posted.

My fondest childhood memories are of Dad and me listening to music together. Dad loved to play old standards on scratchy long-playing records by such artists as Fats Waller and Nat King Cole. These songs taught me lessons I’m sure Dad wanted me to learn.
If “The Joint is Jumpin’,” you’ll get in trouble. No man will like you if “Your Feet’s Too Big.” You’d better “Straighten Up and Fly Right.” I also learned to appreciate “Seafood, Mama” but not until I was an adult.
There’s one more lesson I learned from my father via Louis Armstrong. Despite the hateful things going on around us, we live in a “Wonderful World.” To all dads out there, I hope you have a special Father’s Day.

My Corner 
I believe what you typed made a great deal of sense.
But, what about this? what if you were to create a killer headline?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your
website, but suppose you added something to possibly get a person’s attention? I mean Musical Lessons from Dad | Abbie's Corner of the
World is kinda boring. You might glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they
create article titles to get viewers to click.
You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve
got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts
a little bit more interesting.
