Actually Beth, My Father had some talent. He played a mean Harmonica and guitar. My Half brother on my Fathers side is quite the guitar player. Taught himself Merle Travis style listening to records.
But.
I only heard my father play when I was very young. Under 6 years old. I only saw him a few times over the next 50 years. I did not meet my half brother until he was in his 30's and I have rarely seen or heard from him since. The last was at least 10 years ago.

But I don't think either wrote songs or music.
We shared another trait, Alcoholism. I got over it, they didn't. I think it got in the way of them ever developing their talent. I know it held me back for a loooooooong time.

When my Father died his wife gave me an old broken guitar he had and his harmonica.
