A great thing happened a very long time ago……………. You won’t read it in the news ………
But its worthy of making the headlines! My Dad was born 80 years ago today!!!!!!!
I LOVE you Dad, and couldn’t be prouder to call myself your baby girl! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Enjoy the little musical tribute. You always wanted to teach yourself piano, perhaps someday you can be like this guy! 🙂

A very happy birthday to your dad, Joy 🙂 I would toast for 80 more to come, but that’d be a little ambitious, uh? 😛

Thanks Curanny and Haha! Perhaps a tad ambitious there! But he is striving for a 100th birthday! 😉❤

As an engineer, I state my age in hexadecimal. That makes your father only 50 and I am still in my early 30s.

Hey I like that! I am feeling really young now in spite of the fact that I have no idea what hexadecimal means but sounds good to me! 😃

It is just base 16 numbering system rather than our traditional base 10. It is useful for people who look at computers all day, like base 10 is useful for people who have 10 fingers.
16 decimal is 10 hex, so 80 decimal is 50 hex. Most search pages should have a converter.

Thanks for the explanation! Math was my worst subject in school. An engineer I could never be! 🙂
“Base 10 is useful for people who have 10 fingers …” I will keep that in mind. LOL!

Love the piano! No way I could match it of course, but I used to ‘tinker’ and add ‘twiddly bits’ to things like this! Happy birthday to your Dad. Enjoy the celebrations.

Glad you enjoyed it! He is really good! My Dad said there is a video clip of a ady that plays real well too that comes on right after him. I guess I need to go back and rewatch!
