Music is therapeutic in so many ways. In honour of National Buy A Musical Instrument Day, today, May 22, the Museum and Archives of Vernon sent us this fabulous photo of men playing music at the Coldstream Ranch logging camp in 1911. Pictured are two harmonicas, a wash tub, and we have no idea what the man third from left is playing. A wash board, perhaps? Museum and Archives of Vernon Photo No. 25878
Today's accompanying picture, courtesy of the Museum and Archives of Vernon, shows men playing music at the Coldstream Ranch logging camp in 1911. You can see at least two harmonicas, one man playing a wash tub, and another appears to be playing a wash board.
