Wow ,i couldnt help but get a little emotional off that Post BP, My Family Means everything to me as well and Mom and Dad have had our Music Store for 28 years this year and I too learned so much from Dad And Mom on how to run the Buisness plus i was a Sales rep For 7 years so i could learn the lesson that a sales person always has what you DONT need,always order what u need not what the Sales Rep says you need they are 2 very different things,I am 36 years old and been Happily Married to the same Gal for 16 years and we have a beautiful little 11 year old Daughter,FAMILY IS ABOVE ALL THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THE AGENDA!!!
What a great read BP,my hats off to you a very Passionate and caring person!

Thanks for sharing agreat story BP!
I wish I knew half that much about my own family.
All I know is my primal ancestor was thrown out of the tribe for taking too many banana breaks!

Awesome family Mr. Ball. And that you have built upon what your father started speaks even more.

Thanks for sharing those memories and I'm glad that I played a miniscule part in your sharing them with us.
There are not many days that go by that I don't think about my dad. He passed away over 20 years ago but I learned a lot about life from him. Reading your story reminded me of the importance of having a father actively participating in a childs life to give him the ground rules of life that he will carry with him until the day he dies.

Great story, BP! You should be very proud of your family, and i'm sure i speak for all here when i say we're proud to be associated with the Ball name, in whatever small way.

Just another guy who wants to say thanks, boss.
It's an honor to know the Ball family. Not because of what you do but because of who you are. If my boy grows up half as interesting as yours did/are, I'll be proud.
Ernie done good with you, Biff, and you're carrying on the tradition.
Cheers, my friend.

Very cool. I can't help but get emotional when I think about what my father means to me. Here's to treasuring our Dad's with the time we have left(or had) with them!

I know you're an extremely busy man with many mountains to conquer, but you really should get a book written. Your story really needs to be told and cherished by the world. It's a story than just cannot be lost in time.
