Hello to all,
I was born in Springfield, MO. I started learning the guitar at fourteen. It was my older brothers guitar and suffered a few clouts upside my head for using it without permission. Music has always been part of my life in one way or another.

CHRISTMAS IN NELSON, MISSOURI 1959

MY GRANDPARENTS STORE, NELSON, MO. 1954

Thursday, November 29, 2018 Hello to everybody, may you have a great Christmas this year. I have posted something different within my list of songs. It is not a song, but something I wish to give to you all to you and your families. It is a snapshot taken from my childhood during Christmas time, 1959. I wrote the story some years back, about a lesson I learned from my grandparents, who, at the time did not even know that they were giving me one. I have read the story out loud and recorded it for all to listen to. Please excuse my stumbling voice, as I have a slight cold, causing me to pause once in a while. You may freely download it if you wish, and keep it for your family to listen to. Perhaps it will be food for thought about charity through the holidays. Please take a moment to listen to the story, I think it will entertain you, regardless of your age. And if you are getting up in years, it might take you back to those days so long ago, when the world moved just a little slower. Please share it to your friends, as my Christmas gift to you all. Sincerely, Gerald Bubba Ulmer (Bubba Groove)
