interesting thread....and i makes me feel really old as well.
from my father:
beethoven
haydn
to my father:
the idea that bach was an improvisor
from my mother:
louis armstrong
alot of early 1960s pop music
ragtime and stride piano
to my mother:
it's hard to say--she never understood much of anything about the way i am interested in music. we have worked out a number of types that we talk across though--big band jazz in particular--she likes count basie--i convinced her that it followed that she would like some sun ra.
i tried to use the same argument to get her interested in hip hop.
i dont think it worked.
