I've been listening to some of my mother's jazz cassettes, Weather Report, Earl Klugh, Pieces of a Dream to name a few. They're instrumental. My father played the saxophone and my mother played the piano I found out after she had passed. I can see that music was one common interest they had. It also solves a question I've always had of my desire to learn the piano and why I love jazz.
Your family has great taste in music. I grew up in a family where all 6 kids played an instrument at one time or another. I played trumpet, so when others were listening to rock & roll, I was listening to jazz & big band. Do your kids play any instruments?
The country group, Alabama. Mountain Music and If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band). And, Joan Jett, I Love Rock & Roll (my wife loves this song).
