"Derned if I didn't have to hold my hair on," wrote Dad.

Dad and I've written to each other about this several times now.

Dad wrote 'Rocking Chair' in 1929, both music and lyrics.

At one time Dad intended to turn this story into a full-length novel and wrote several versions of the first chapter without going any further.

"I promised Dad to write a little story about it all," he said in the book.

I hadn't known that Dad had written such a thing, nor suspected that he knew the top man in the Federation.

Dad wrote screenplays and made some solid money, and Mom had me.
