One of my earliest recollections of my dad was of him playing guitar and singing this song to me:
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
I took that picture of him in his studio with his Polaroid camera when I was a teenager – circa 1968ish. He was a designer - I wrote about him in this post: Heirloom Design At Home. This is how I remember him – handsome, inquisitive, introspective and forever cool.
Someone told me at his funeral, "Nobody loves you like your father does." So true.
Dad loved art and music, and I’m sure if YouTube was around before he died, he would have loved this too:
Happy Father's Day!
