This is a wonderful idea....sharing our "forefathers" on Father's Day weekend. I've been working some on our family tree (plenty of nuts). We've a Civil War Capt., a volunteer in the Pa. militia (Rev. War), a Pa. lumberjack who died bringing logs down the river, an early dentist (ouch), a pianist at the silent movies/early jazz band leader, a plasterer, stonemason, plumber, accountant, farmer.
From my father...Detroit, A Nice Place to Grow Up. (St. Marks Methodist basketball, hockey-Wayne State, UofM-Masters Petr. Geol., WWII Navy, Ad Man, Senior Center volunteer, Elder, father of six, husband 45 years).
Happy Father's Day, Freeper fathers. Your children love you more than you know.
Thanks for dropping by and whomever played early jazz from your family tree, I hope that your link contains some more info on that. I am an ardent fan of ragtime and early jazz.
There are lots of ragtime midi files on the internet and it's fun to find a good link and click on all the ragtime tunes. Nothing could be finer.
