Does it look like my dentist and her father are coming straight out of a J. K. Rowling novel?
Is it just me, or . . . ?

Man with a harmonica
Tempus fugit. Carpe diem. And all that.
I found him at my local curiosity shop.
Every town ought to have one.
What is he playing? I wonder.
The shop owner caught me snapping those shots and she invited me in... to hear him play—yes, it's an automaton!
The music the automaton plays, it turned out, is "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain." The song is derived from the Christian spiritual known as "When the Chariot Comes."
I don't know. I am a little disapointed. "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" is an enthralling and fun song and all, I am sure, but I just thought "Man with a Harmonica" suited him better.
Sometimes certain things are best left to the imagination.
