Lawrence Welk, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, and a nightmarish polka group, the mom and dads, and thank you for bringing back some painful memories.
Thank the Gods I had the Beatles and Zeppelin.

Let's see... My mom listened to a lot of Hispanic troubadours, like Joan Manuel Serrat, Jose Luis Rodriguez, and Victor Iturbide. She listened to a few other things, but that was mostly what I remember.
My dad listened to a lot of classical music, soft rock, and some big band. Mantovani, Bert Kaempfert, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, and Elton John were pretty standard for him. He used to stand in the living room when he thought no one was watching and pretend to direct an orchestra while he listened to his music. Then, when he sensed someone else had walked in the room, he would get startled and pretend like he was in the middle of doing something else. :1orglaugh
Oh, they both listened to The Beatles and Abba. Oh, dawg, how I used to hate those groups!

Then you must have some interesting tales from Band Camp.
I should mention that they'll be watching a lot of Jurassic Park (the greatest film ever made)

Skin flute?
I have flute experience. ...you know, an actual flute. And piccolo.
I most certainly do.
...ok, so maybe only *I* find them interesting.
All I know about my dad is that he was an American hating commie. And for some reason he just loved Jose Feliciano..... :dunno:
