I have been promoted
to the rank of Great Grandpa. Ella arrived at 2203.
6 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches long.
Mother and baby both are doing splendidly. My tear ducts are also fully functioning.

So, the question is: Do you have the right size bass for her, or will you have to go buy one?

Rusty, I know the feeling. Expecting numbers 11 and 12 this year. Both boys. I am a proud Great Grand father. Just wish my wife was here to love the clan we started so many years ago.

Congratulations to you and everyone else. A proud day for sure. That one-string is a good start. If there's only a way to connect it to that mixer/synthesizer behind her...
Good health to all.

I remember when Buddy Hackett told Johnny Carson that all newborns look like Don Rickles.
Lotta truth in that.

Oh, and Mom and Dad, too.
