You know, that's a funny thing, Tony. My dad was a tenor with the London Welsh Male Voice Choir and, much as he hoped I would follow in his footsteps, he never once tried to discourage my 'different' taste in music.

I used to buy all the old Elvis, Little Richard, Fats Domino records and, he could enjoy those even though they were a universe away from the music he was brought up on.

I think that, after all these years, the main reason that I'm open to all kinds of stuff now is a direct result of his own broadness in music.

Not too many kids lucked out with a dad like mine, I guess.



Thats what i try with my kids, whenever we are on the road for longer stretches we create some CDs with half of their choice and half of my choce and play them in the car, discussing our music, its where i try to listen and understand their music, and where they try and listen to my music..

In the end, i learned to appreciate much of the moderne music, like rap, trance and dubbstep while they fearned to appreciate my rock, country, schlager, disco and even classical music..
