I received a "Memory" from two years ago today on Facebook. My brothers Gary, who lives in Ottawa and Bob, who lives in Dundas and I are playing the blues. Bob is playing a 1950 LG1 and Gary is playing a current Eastman J45 style guitar. I can't seem to see what model mouth harp I'm playing, so I'll guess a Hohner Special 20. 
Here are brothers Jim (1958 Goya M26), David (Larrivee) and Gary (Yamaha FG something) at a show in Ottawa about 10 years ago. I believe we were probably singing Big Ass Garage Sale. Dave lost his battle with cancer in 2011. He was probably the most talented of the Yates brothers. 
Here is a scene from my mom and dad's rec room about 30 years ago. I'm playing the mandolin, brother Dave has the guitar, Steve is enjoying the music, Darcy, in red has the bass, Clay is standing with the electric guitar and Greg is playing the acoustic.
Here are Maggie (hammered dulcimer), me (mandolin), our friend Al Kirby (guiar) and our son Darcy (bass) playing at a Fred Eaglesmith Picnic in Aylmer,Ontario.
It seems that when my family gets together, we always have instruments in our hands.
