We always had records around, and I was encouraged to play them. I think that, as I close in on 50, my parents musical taste has a larger influence on me now than it did when I was younger. Dad was big on C&W, and that was something I rebeled against. Now I love it. His jazz selection was pretty limited, a Sarah here, an Ella there, and a couple of Jack Teagardens, so I don't know if that affected me at all. I think the main effect was just that music was supposed to be a major part of life, even if you didn't play it yourself...
