Greatest Gift

At my jam last night (I play fiddle), I got presented with a special "award". Uncle John retired....and decided to bestow upon me the hat.

The hat was first presented to John by Frank, upon Frank's retirement.

Now it's mine.

I'm told that I'm going to have it for a really long time....which is probably true as the years until retirement exceed those that I have lived.

On the front: "Born to Fiddle, Forced to Work"

On the back: "Old Guys Rule" (oh yeah....)
