#father

I got my first trumpet when I was six years old, from Al Hirt. My father was playing in Al Hirt's band at that time. ↗

We looked up to our father. He still is much greater than us. ↗

When I auditioned for my high school band the band director was excited because my father was known to be a great musician. When he heard me, he said 'Are you sure you're Ellis's son?' ↗

Since I was a child, I've liked telling stories. Maybe because my father's a director, I grew up loving stories. I'm not good at spinning them at a dinner table because I do go on a bit, but I love writing them, and directing is just a way of editing the story. ↗

It was my father who instilled the 'never say no' attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination. ↗

I was six months old at the time that I was taken, with my mother and father, from Sacramento, California, and placed in internment camps in the United States. ↗

I was raised Catholic, but my father's people were Methodist, so we went to both churches. ↗

It is much easier to become a father than to be one. ↗

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother. ↗
