A New Blog Character...

Here's a new blog character. Cathy got a tattoo of a tie dye rabbit playing a banjo as a memorial to her dad, Bill Cooney. 

In Old Irish legend and the Cooney family is Irish the rabbit is a mysterious otherworldly creature associated with the world of fairies, magic and shapeshifting. Cathy's dad played the tenor banjo. 

The roots of this come from a t shirt design by Miguel (rabbit by Mary) done in November 2016 for one of the jam sessions he like to host for his birthday. This happened to be his 85th. Bill passed in 2020 at 88 years old

Bill's sister Shelia and husband Art pictured front row left have also passed on. RIP to his brother David and wife Peggy, not picture here but also gone to just rewards. 

Bill puts on the I mean business banjo face. 

The jam session crew. 

Cathy has been calling the rabbit Bun-Bun. My advice for that tattoo is make it tell your story.
