44 years ago was a Saturday. That's the day I married a fine young woman. I chose well. We rented a banquet hall, or was it her Dad who paid for it? Can't remember.

This was before the unfortunate demise of live wedding bands in favor of deejays. We won a free cake and photo package at a "wedding show" I'd been dragged to, so we had extra $ to hire a good band.
So we hired a really good jazz wedding band.

The first time we met, I was playing fiddle tunes on my guitar on the front porch swing of our rented house just off campus in Urbana Illinois. She and her friend Ruth were walking by, and stopped, then came up to talk. Never forgot that she commented that I was not playing in time with the creaking of the swing.
To this day, she is my sounding board on my playing abilities, such that they are, and has been there every time I have played for an audience ~ 30 years +/- . It's usually, but not always a good review, but I always listen to her after gig comments.
It's a good thing that she appreciates knives and guitars, or she might not have worked out.

Congrats to you and Vic on staying together for 44 years my friend and being able to remember the very day that you first saw her . I can still remember the day back in 1955 when I first saw my wife . I was with my best friend , who happened to be her cousin , and he told me to keep my hands off her .
I will be using these 2 today .
