I REMEMBER THE DAYS:
when one summer I drove from Bellflower to work with my cousin Pete on Uncle Hank and Aunt Carrie's dairy in El Monte (by the airport), building corrals. "What a trip!"
when I met Gerrit at a family Christmas gathering, and of course, we sang, and sang, and sang!
when I was asked to play for Gerrit and Anna Mae's wedding - the first one I ever played for, on a
Hammond organ, in the El Monte Reformed Church! Wow!
and all the Bootsma gatherings, with so many good Van Dam and Romberg voices, singing "all in one a chord!" Huge! Didn't Gerrit like to do solos? Seems to me he always got at least one verse alone!
