After assaulting her with birthday crazy cards for a week, I took Mom Ellen Barksdale out Wednesday, March 28, 2007, for birthday luncheon. We went to the Bexley Monk and Chef Charles Langstaff prepared a delicious fare of soups, salads and breads to go along with chocolate cake.
Mom Barksdale and I have played piano and trumpet duet concerts since the mid-1980s. We have performed at church services, community concerts, birthday celebrations, anniversary parties and for several years we made regular visit to her good friend Helen Ramsuer at Lutheran Village, entertaining the luncheon audience with religious favorites. We have also recorded a number of songs together that have appeared on two of my compact discs.
I produced a series of recordings and a compact disc for her in February, 2007. Mom Barksdale was inducted into the Columbus Senior Musicians Hall of Fame in 1999. Happy birthday from your crazy "sun."
