As you know, your mommy & I love music. Even as kids we loved buying records and seeing bands live. Your mom's brother (Uncle Gary) makes his living selling records & CDs, and due to his contacts in "the biz" occasionally stumbles upon some really awesome music related memorabilia.
Case in point: A few years ago he was contacted by someone who had come to own a bunch of Eddie Kendricks' possesions after he died. Eddie Kendricks sang in a group called The Temptations in the 60's, and then later released several solo albums. One of the items he had was the chair that had been used on the album cover of Eddie Kendricks' second solo record. Though some people might dismiss this as a minor prop and one that has little value, these are the kind of things that I find priceless and luckily Uncle Gary felt the same way and bought it.
There's not much more to this story, except that I was really excited to have you sit in this chair (that now resides in a corner of their basement) and get a photo of you.
Love you, buddy!!
Love, Daddy.

Our little cutie! Sitting where the butt of musical history has sat. Luckily he was able to hold off his gas for long enough to get the photo. I also like how our Henry has the same sober face as Eddie. Love, Mommy
well I'm impressed!
