Musical heritage

One of my cousins posted these pictures of the Bowers family reunion on Jan 2, 2010. This is what a Bowers gathering has looked like as long as I can remember. I've just got to make it to a reunion soon and join in. I think I probably owe my love of music to this group of people.

That's my daddy with the banjo.

Uncle Glen on the mandolin, Uncle Murray on the fiddle, Aunt Jeannine on the standing bass.

My parents. You can see where my silly heritage comes from too. (He's sticking his tongue out.)
