Oh, boy, do I have a treat for you! I have been wanting to do this for a while, and started working on it last Sunday. Which, if you remember correctly, was Father's Day. A perfect day to spend with my dad again!
Years and years ago, Dad recorded himself reading some of his favorite poems. I have it on CD now, and I've written about it before here. And now, I'm going to share one of the poems with you. I used photos from Dad's life to illustrate the recording, which was one of his very favorites. And now, may I present "Six Golden Coins," written by Martin Buxbaum and recited by my daddy.
Note: You'll need to pause the music player on my blog sidebar before you watch this video.

What a cute idea! I love the photos. You look a lot like your dad...and there is such a resemblance between him and Jackson too!
That was priceless - and beautiful. Thank you so much for posting the video and sharing such a special part of your life.
It was nice to meet you. I'll come back again soon.
Wow that was really moving. I loved how you incorporated the pictures with the poem---perfectly timed! What a tribute.
Awesome:)
Hearing your father read my dad's verse, Six Golden Coins, really brought tears to my eyes. What a great voice your father had, so full of emotion...what a great gift you have given me. I thank you so very much!
Hugs and Happiness-

P.S. Love all the new pics you have on your site!
