Grandpa Tumblebug’s Banjo-Playin’ Days
Posted on 01.12.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 3:32 pm

A friend just posted a status update that involved the banjo and it reminded me of a story about my maternal grandfather, the one I lovingly called Grandpa Tumblebug.

Days after his heart surgery, Grandpa asked a nurse, “Will I be able to play the banjo?” She assured him he would. “That’s wonderful,” Grandpa Tumblebug answered. “I’ve always wanted to play the banjo.”

He was such a fun-loving man. I miss him.
