I can't claim any great cultural heritage apart , on my UK side, from
an intimate knowledge of the Methodist Hymn book, and the fact my
mother late into her life desperately regretted that she'd never been
able to learn the accordion, which she had *so* wanted to do instead
of the piano.
She also only ever wrote one poem, at school, and it was clearly
important to her, this creative act, because she remembered & recited
it to the end of her life:
*See the little Daisy bright*
*Standing there, all through the night*
*Pink tipped petals, golden centre*
*Let us go to the castle and enter.*
Whatever frustrated creative drive she had, she later channeled into
an almost supernatural ability to make house plants of all varieties
grow and thrive.
My Dad was entirely uninterested in culture except for the Saturday pm
ITV wrestling and Cossack dancing displays. He did however love nature
with a passion and I inherited that.
As for documents -a couple of weeks ago my cousin Jarosław sent me a
piece of testimony from my father which must have been given in 43 or
44 & has been in the Hoover collection in the States ever since.
When he related this he was three years younger than my daughter is now.
One of my very first pieces of 'net art' (sounds quaint now) made in
Director, but now just a piece of video, dealt with the same subjects.
The testimony:

I second Renée's thoughts. I love that idea that playing is
bringing the past back in such an active and evocative way.
I'd be interested in the creative skills and tools of the trade
that other people on the list have inherited, if I may be so bold
as to high-jack your email thread, Ruth?

I have been playing my violin again since lock down and I
came across this sheet music for the second 2nd Bach Partita
that I played when I was much younger.
You can see from the inscription that it was a birthday
present from Rolf, my paternal grandfather, to his father
exactly 60 years ago today.
My dad John, who was a professional cellist, has a photo from
this time of the three generations of men playing chamber
music: Dad on cello, Rolf on the piano, and my great
grandfather, Arthur, playing the violin.

There is something very moving to me about this
cultural inheritance, and I wanted to share it with you all :)
warmly
Ruth
