I love my Mom dearly, but I do hold a grudge for being raised listening to way too much Barry Manilow. :-)
In a sense I'm carrying on that tradition. Namely, I'm playing my music for Dorothy. While we do sometimes listen to the children's music CDs that we've received (thanks everyone!), I certainly don't limit myself to that music when Dorothy is around, especially when she's up in my office on my desk. Up here in my office is when we crank the Ray Charles and Jimi Hendrix and a bunch of other rockin', soulful musicians. I want Dorothy to grow up appreciating the classics! :-) (I'm sure Tom Egan is going to make some amusing replies to what I'm referring to as classics...) And yes, sometimes we do listen to classical music too. But without some hard soul in at least some of your music, what's the point in listening?
Posted by Tom Nugent at July 8, 2004 09:01 AMWhat?? Ray-Ray qualifies as classic. Ray was a musical genuis....heck, anyone who played on "The Blues Brothers" qualifies....Aretha, John Lee, James Brown shame on you for saying I wouldn't think that this qualifies as "classic".
Now I never knew you were raised on Barry Manilow, but that begins to explain a lot of things about you.
