I really loved Dad's selections of music he played. I tried playing the violin but didn't get far at the age I tried. My brother learned piano and did program computers. I can't say Dad's music made me a programmer but it did inspire me to program.
I am a dad of grownup children myself. My daughter is married and my son is getting married soon.
