My Story Remembered... Ken Kimbrell
Your comments are welcome and you can do that at the bottom of this page and any of the other page in this series.

During a chat with My Children the subject of putting some of my life's remembrances into written form came up. This outline will serve as a starting point to see if I am able to work up too some actual writing. Perhaps this will also be a benefit to the memory issues that I've experienced in recent times.
You can find additional commentary in this Topic.
 
March 24, 2019:
This index style page will be, for the most part, a simple outline for the possible chapter titles and some amount of subtext for what a chapters content might be.  A 'Comments' section is located at the bottom of each page and they are open so that Family and Friends can join in with the stories that many of you will find familiar and may find yourselves included in. And, if you think of any stories that you would like to see included please post a comment and I'll try to put it in a chapter. You can also send me a PM or a text if you would rather use some other way to let me know about your thoughts.

BTW this will not be some ˜tell all" that tries to dig up lots of family skeleton's and dirty laundry, rather it will include tales of some of the interesting and fun episodes of our Families life and times.

    Strings!
    The guitar has long been my favorite instrument, from early childhood onward. My mother, Mallie would regale us with wonderful tunes on guitar's that she had borrowed from someone, usually from one of our cousins or an uncle. There were lots of musicians in the family, including a few who played in local bands and one aunt, Martha Jane Hamrick-Gibson, who was the piano player for a group called the Rhythm Kings, a well known band in the South East during the 1940s and 50s. We were exposed to lots of instruments during our youth because if it had strings mom could play it including many different types of guitars, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and piano. The acoustic guitar was by far her favorite instrument and that was in part due to it's easy portability and that was because we weren't able to afford any instruments of our own. So, it only follows that the guitar ends up being my all time fav music maker.
