Music we recommended to our parents

[flapjackdavey]

I played my parents some Gryphon once , they seemed to enjoy that ... then Sound Sound Your Instruments Of Joy by The Watersons ... I suppose thats one example of how much The Sally Army has influenced me ... they seemed to like that ... my dad used to quite like The Beatles but lost interest when they got into "that transcendental meditation nonsense " as he used to put it

I made them a cassette of folk stuff to play in the car once , steeleye span , blowzabella ,richard and linda thompson etc took me f**kin hours , to my knowledge they never listened to it once ..... the silly chuffers :)

I don't recommend any music to my parents as they are both dead. However as a parent it has interested me that my son's interest in music has expanded from what seemed to be just loud noise to a variety of stuff including classical music and nothing to do with his parents influence. The other day I heard 'Moon River' playing in his room whilst he was on his computer. I've no idea where his influences are coming from.

As an aside, we i.e the family, contemplated ,albeit briefly, having 'Where's your Mama gone' played at my Mum's funeral.

Ended up with 'I did it my way' by Sinatra.

well I'm talking about years ago Declan , back when I was a yoof ... its funny you mentioned your sons taste changing as he's got older ... I can identify with that ... 15 years ago I was listening to stuff like The Orb ,Dub , and dance stuff ... these days I'm happy to make a cup of tea and listen to Bert Jansch .... folk has always been there though from an early age .... I can still cut a rug though ... oh yes guvnor !

My mum once said to me "Slade are better than the Beatles", which even I knew as a 10 year was a load of old shite...since then I've kept my musical taste away from my mum

My daughter made me some tapes (yeh it was the olden days) when she was about sixteen, I never listened to them, even in the car :))

I made her some tapes, don't think she ever listened to them either :))

Generation gap, innit.

I tried getting my Mum into Motown. She was racist. Oh dear.

Recently I realised I was listening and rather enjoying the beautiful tones of Matt Monroe.

Damn it.

As an old Soulboy I can tell you I was always staggered by how many soul fans were pretty racist

I used to have the misfortune of working with this bloke who was a big James Brown fan ... but he was the biggest bloody racist on the planet
