One of my favorite memories of Christmas is around 1978 or '79. Christmas was one of the few times of year my dad's old battered Gibson guitar would come out of its case. My dad's father was a very good bluegrass guitarist, and had taught my dad to play from a very young age. They were both left handed so they both had left handed strung guitars, my dad's a Gibson, my grandpa's some sort of acoustic Stratocaster or something like that, I don't know guitars very well. Anyway, at family gatherings sometimes they'd both sit down after my grandpa got enough alcohol in him to stop his hands from shaking and they'd play for everyone. They were actually pretty good. Dad would sing, Otto, his dad would back him up and play rhythm. This particular Christmas, I don't know if dad had been practicing or what, but they picked out a very good version of "Driving My Life Away". I always liked to hear my dad play the guitar and sing, he had a good singing voice, but I don't know if it was because dad's voice sounded a little like Eddie Rabbit's or if it was just the fact everyone was having such a good time that day or what, but we were all clapping and singing along with them, about 25 members of the family jammed into the living room watching my grandpa hit every note just about perfectly and my dad seemed to be in his element. My two older cousins and I kept requesting all day that they do "Driving My Life Away" over and over again and I bet they did the song 10 times throughout the day to everyone's delight. That was a fun Christmas.I'll karaoke the crap outta that, lol.

That's awesome, my dad and I sang and played piano at family reunions but not at Christmas. Family members are supposed to have the best natural harmony. It's funny how a certain song can bring back such detailed memories, isn't it? Thanks for sharing, Ghost.One of my favorite memories of Christmas is around 1978 or '79.
