Thank you all for joining me in posting your family photos.
My photo for today is this picture of my daddy. "Daddy" may sound a bit childish, but that's what I called him. He called me "Little girl" until I was fifty-five years old. I miss that.
Daddy had a small swing band in the 30's called The Novelty Swingsters. He played mandolin, guitar and banjo in the band. Outside the band he played piano and accordian. Music was always a part of Daddy's life.
This photo was taken from an old home movie. That old film is the only visual I've had of his band. It seems that no photographs exist.
Below is a dance ticket admitting one to a Halloween dance at Owens-Illinois glass factory where Daddy's band was playing that evening.
Please take a few minutes to visit those who have posted their favorite family photo and leave a comment.
As my five-year old granddaughter Kathryn says, "Grandma, photographs are for memories, you know". No truer words have ever been spoken.

Your photo is very nice as is the story of your Daddy! I think just about all girls are Daddy's girl...no matter how old we get! It is nice taking a trip down memory lane when we look at our photographs!
take care,
Dawn
Deborah, I love your photo of your dad. Did you inherit his musical ability? From what I see, not real clear, he was very handsome too. What a great memory and post about your dad. By the way, welcome home. smile.
Can you meet at Suzanas and then go across the street for lunch one week from tomorrow? I think that is Aug. 9th.
Love ya, Jeanne
So sweet! What a cute granddaughter you have! Lovely foto! Hugs, Vanessa
Our daddies are always special in our lives. No matter how long it has been since I lost mine, he will always be daddy to me.
I love the pictures are memories you shared with us.
What a sweet post about your Daddy. I agree, he was a handsome man. Thank you for sharing your walk down memory lane!
Hi Deborah,
What a great picture, and memories to go with it! Thanks for hosting this!
What a great idea!
Diane
Love the photo, & I still call my Daddy, Daddy. That is what he will always be. Hugs***Renea
What a fun pic of your dad! I bet he had a lot of good memories of playing in the band. Was he from Toledo? There is (or was, not sure) an Owens-Illinois plant there.

car insurance missouri You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post. Mike , texas car insurance
