Great.
My grandfather was a cabinetry guy/finishing carpenter… who for a hobby would build grandfather’s clock.
Now I have that image in my head.
Okay so I got curious and according to wikipedia:
“The Oxford English Dictionary states that the popular 1876 song My Grandfather’s Clock is responsible for the common name “grandfather clock” being applied to the longcase clock.”
Quite fittingly, the original name of that song was My Grandfather’s Cock. Then the clergy complained…
