My recalation is we didn't listen to tapes. We listened to what was on the radio this was in the 70's, 80's and early 90's so you can use your imagination. I recall mostly soft rock and pop.
Cars in my childhood only had radios and in Oklahoma they only played country and western.
My dad was not fond of country and western music so he did not play the radio. He played the record player at home and it was always jazz and blues. He owned a nightclub that featured country and western music 90% of the time. Once he had Harry James though and interestingly it was sold out.
On the way to church Sundays the Only radio station played polkas & the announcer spoke 100% in Polish. In SE Connecticut.
Dad never had a car.
Where was this?
Oh Jesus , tough one
If my dad was to drive him self w my sister and me , we were always yaping mouths . I don’t remember any music / songs . Most likely was some classical / piano music playing low , but we were loud talkers and will not shut up
I remember car trips to Austria , France , S Italy , ferry to Greece and driving through the mountains , and just short trips to get food or such , and it was always talks .
Or word games . Rolling eyes bcz btwen him and my sister , I have not won once in these games
I am so old that music had not been invented when my parents were alive. besides, no electricity in the horse drawn wooden wagon.
All we had all life overseas was a bicycle, I can't give any memories, you guys go....
In the US, I played Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Queen, Cat Stevens, Eric Clapton, Barbara Streissand for my daughter from her age 3 to 10. Prior to it, we just played Rabbit Ears stories non-stop. Disney was blacklisted in the house. I did not want her to wait for someone to give her anything but achieve all on her own. She later started to want me to change bedtime stories to make the princess go rescue the prince on a glass mountain in stories.
