Father's Day Coming June 19

(At least, in North America)

I did a music montage for Mother's Day
(http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2011/05/podcast-5-gift-of-flowers-for-mothers.html)

I wanted to do something similar for Father's Day,

Any suggestions?

- Music about famous fathers (e.g. William Tell Overture)
- Things fathers like (hunting, fishing, ...) (e.g. the Tout quintent)
- Pieces dedicated to fathers (e.g. R. Strauss Horn concerto)

Pls let loose and give me some suggestions!

I'd say play Handel, because Haydn said, "He is the father of us all." But probably nobody would get the joke.

Except maybe for "Papa" Haydn, don't you think? :lol:

Saw this at Church today and I just had to pass this on.

Classical music snobs may abstain...:devil:

Hats off to all dads for Father's Day:tiphat:

My dad was impartial about CM, but loved the sax. If he were here today, I'd probably give him something by Boots Randolph. Is YouTube an adequate gift? LOL
