My father was indifferent concerning most arts. I never heard him express any interest in paintings, sculptures, poetry, theater, literature, or photography... But he did love music! Very much so! Big band, Country and western, Swing, Bluegrass, Hawaiian and a lot of Pop music from the 30's through the 60's. Unfortunately for his hard rock loving son, he wanted nothing to do with "that crap", lol.
And he made music too. He had several harmonicas of different keys and types with buttons and holders to have one on top of the other. Little tiny ones to these foot long monsters... And he could play them all quite well. His brother played piano and a couple of my uncles also played harmonica and sang. During family get-togethers, at some point they would all gather in the living room around the piano and play their of favorites to the delight of everyone...
Happily, his love of music rubbed off on all his kids. We all play an instrument or three. And that has moved on to his grand kids as well. They all play and sing as well.
Thanks dad :)
I love and miss you...

The instrument has a number of glass bowls of different sizes attached to a horizontal axis. As the axis rotates, the musician touches the glass bowls with wet fingers.
Benjamin Franklin is credited as the inventor of the glass harmonica.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Georg Friedrich Händel, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Strauss, and more than 100 other composers composed works for the glass harmonica; some pieces survived in the repertoire in transcriptions for more conventional instruments.
Unfortunately, this picture is a little blurry.
