Dad stories"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

My Dadused to own a mini clubman. It wasnt anything special in fact it was quite rusty and knocked about from the old pictures i have seen and my own memory.
Inside my dads mini was a rather large looking 8 track huge cassette radio player. My dad's 8 track cartridges had songs by artists i had never
heard of (at that time)on them and when i used to go to places with my dad which tended to be on a sunday when my mum was tidying round our home
we used to listen to my dads tunes in the car and sing away as we travelled to whichever local attraction it was that we were going to.
Now for any dads reading this i can now say that everyone of those songs (good and bad) now reside in my itunes.
Some of the artists were (excuse my spelling here some may be wrong)
the bee gees - saturday night fever
neil diamond- greatest hits
helen reddy - i have just downloaded a selection
johnny mathis
I still listen to the songs occasionally now and let me tell you there is no gift that anyone could give me that would ever beat listening to my dads old songs
in my headphones and imagining my dad is sat next to me in his mini singing away like he used to.
