Dad liked alot of stuff that we didn't so we didn't listen much unless Elvis was on. Later I discovered the Beach Boys and my sister was in love with the Beatles, but we didn't own any of the records until I got a job at 16 and started buying my own. I still have several of The Beach Boys on my i-pod now.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-30970698306519005872012-01-01T23:31:21.685+00:002012-01-01T23:31:21.685+00:00Fantastic post!

My mum's taste was quite eclectic but she did foster in me a lifelong love of Neil Diamond and Creedence! I also loved the Beach Boys as a kid. My dad had heaps of 50s and 60s music I still love.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-34796181871402669362012-01-01T21:38:39.754+00:002012-01-01T21:38:39.754+00:00Hi Grace,

My father hated rock and roll unless he liked it - and he was quite taken with the BB's "Sloop John-B" - he even asked us to buy the 45 and play it for him..You just never know with music...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
