All of my kids, my siblings, my mom and several of her siblings played instruments of some kind. My husband's family - no one.

It's interesting to trace musical talent back through several generations of a family. My husband can play by ear and doesn't read music, he can play five instruments and is a songwriter too. I've researched his family and learned his musical talent comes through his mother's side of the family. I'm impressed that your grandfather and uncle made their own instruments. My husband's bandmate makes violins, guitars and mandolins. It's very involved work and requires a lot of skill. Congrats on your talented children - your kids could start their own band. :)Queen Beehttp://www.beeskneesdaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-79654977346711989352012-06-02T16:23:50.640-07:002012-06-02T16:23:50.640-07:00Thanks so much Karen!Thanks so much Karen!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-6689682328980449462012-06-02T15:44:08.629-07:002012-06-02T15:44:08.629-07:00Oh wow, how very cool that was!
