But that&#8217;s okay. At least we know how to have fun. :)</p> Aww, I see the Blair family Band Hero band did not even rate an honorable mention in the Extended Family category. But that’s okay.

What an unforgivable oversight that I didn&#8217;t tell about my extended family. We have amazing singers on both sides, actually, but almost everyone on the Black side sings AND plays an instrument (or used to&#8230;there&#8217;s a new generation now).

On the other side, we have Howard, who has always been able to rattle the rafters–in a great way.

Aunt Bann, I wonder if you’re thinking about David’s song “Home.” I love it. :)

And most of OUR family sing, too, but don&#8217;t have the training that your mom and dad had. Especially the original Phelps all sing, except your Uncle Dale, but they were trained by your Aunt Beverly. </p> <p>And when the entire group get together around a campfire or songbooks with the guitars going, there are no sweeter sounds on earth, as the harmony flows. (Oh, and Helen and DD both have had training and really sound good, too!) </p> <p>We heard David sing one of his new songs just before we left the Hill after reunion. LOVED the song&#8212;and the singer wasn&#8217;t bad, either! lol</p> Yes, Diana, your entire family sings. And most of OUR family sing, too, but don’t have the training that your mom and dad had.
