My parents were born in the late 20's and were teenagers during the war. I grew up in the sixties, with my mom filling the house with 'big band' music. Even my high school principal, Mr. Rudder would play Glenn Miller over the school PA system every morning before classes started. This one's for you Mom and Mr. Rudder.

Thing about Irish music is that I either can't stand it (mostly the di-feckin-diddley stuff) or, I'm reduced to tears when I hear some real belter. When I hear Elvis, I think of my dad sat by the record player listening and enjoying. Work once brought me to Tupelo, felt quite emotional with Elvis everywhere, he'd have been in his element.

my grandad loved his crooners, particularly Nat King Cole
Mum was a huge Bassey& Mathis fan
dad loved all sorts, but I distinctly remember car drives with a Motown compilation called The Big Wheels of Motown (just googled it, 1978, I was 10) and that helped set me on my way to my love of soul and black music genres in general.
