Whenever Barney and I got together we always talked about our fathers and how they inspired us to play instruments, especially guitar. When Barney's father would get together with my father, Barney would come as well and we would play Croation songs, polkas and Colas. I'll deeply miss my Cousin, Barney, but I'll see him again!!! Love you, Cuz !!! Rest in peace, buddy.
