My indulgent parents wanted to dump me on the streets. Stuff like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. I think I'd still enjoy them a bit today but my heart belongs to British Invasion Rock and Roll and a couple of contemporary groups like the Beach Boys and Gary Lewis.
Of course I grew up and became my parents and love the sound of the Big Bands and the Great American Song Book. And dancing to that music is one of the great pleasures of my life (and it's probably the only reason my wife married me. The power of the foxtrot!).
