My dad smelled of bow rosin, 4711 and nice pipe tobacco. He had a vintage (by today's standards) steel road bike w/ down tube shifters, wore trouser clips so his pants didn't get tangled in the chain and rode at 2 am without a light under full moon on rural roads for the helluvit when the snakes warmed themselves on the asphalt. and to irritate my mother. he was successful on that front.



Bach (JS): Cello Suite #1 In G, BWV 1007 - Prelude. Worth a listen. I think it sounds richer on a viola than a cello, but I am clearly biased (no disrespect meant to Yo-Yo).
