irene: re: your schoolin' of your kids: bless ya, if only more parents were like this. personally, i grew up with my parents playing supertramp and fleetwood mac (which i still have a fondness for because of, though I wouldn't mind shaking it :)), barbara streisand (i could do without having heard her :)), crystal gayle, abba (*a lot* of abba), captain and tenille, kenny rogers, and maybe a couple of others that luckily escape my memory all these years later. My parents had like maybe 10 or 15 records MAX in their collection and so I heard these over and over and over in the 70s until I started buying my own records in 1979/80ish (which wasn't that easy being in a small town...) Funny enough, when I started writing and getting promos in the early 80s, I started giving them all kinds of freebie records that I didn't want, but that I thought might be up their alley, yet a "step up" from what they listened to over and over, some of which they probably still have somewhere. In the end, I think I turned out okay, despite having an album or two each from the above artists pummelled into my brain for ten years or so. At least I can smile when I hear ABBA now, instead of cringing ;) Damn, if only they had been into some FUNK instead of what they were into, though. oh well.hindsight and all...
