My Uncle Dan Cedrone is the guitar player in the famous, iconic song, “Rock Around the Clock”, recorded in 1954 by Bill Haley & His Comets.  Uncle Danny pioneered the “Rockabilly” guitar sound and is credited with being one of the originators or Rock & Roll.  Unfortunately, he died in a freak accident in 1954 shortly after the song was released and his family never received any royalties for his work.  He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the early 2000’s where his picture and guitar are permanently enshrined.

I’m slowly checking off the items on my “bucket list.”   I’m planning soon to gather a few friends and family members for a trip to a Dude Ranch in Texas – and this is very unusual for a woman who  never wears jeans.    I just want to ride horses, herd cattle and sing by the campfire.    We’ll see😊 Or, maybe I’ll just keep that on hold for another year or so???   It’s an Out of the Box Year for sure.
