What sort of musical influence did your parents give you?
Do you enjoy listening to that type of music today?
My mom was born in 1936. I remember her being really into Johnny Mathis, Ella Fitzgerald & Frank Sinatra.
Later she was into the Moody Blues, Doobie Brothers and Joe Cocker..
My pops was born in 1933, he was always into Jazz and blues.
Miles Davis, Benny Goodman, Dinah Washington, Louis Prima, etc
But us kids turned him on to bands like Zeppelin & Black Sabbath and he’d blast rock n roll in the car, too..
I hated jazz when I was a kid and would beg my dad to turn off the “horny music,” but I love it today.
I’m glad my folks had cool taste in music, I think it’s partly why my taste is as vast as it is.
If I had to choose one song that will always remind me of my parents, it would be this..
