Mom loved music! All my life I was surrounded by music because of her. Mom couldn't read music but she could pick up almost any instrument and play anything you wanted to hear! Once she bought a sax and realized she had no clue how to play it, so she signed up for music lessons. By her third lesson she was playing like an old pro and cancelled the rest of her lessons. Sometimes if you were lucky enough to be driving along side of her, you might hear her tapping on her cowbell or hitting her rhythm sticks while she was listening to her favorite tunes. Mom never went anywhere without her drumsticks! LOL! And as you can tell, mom's favorite music was...Country!
