Music your mom made you listen to (sing, bands, heavy metal)

[Jev]

My mom always played Dionne Warwick and Tom Jones, but also Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline around the house.

Double H, I'm sensing a house full of Welk? (POLKA?)




"Wunnnnnnnnnnndurful, Wundurful! And now folks here are the Lennon Sisters singing, "Supper Time." A one-na, and a two-wa!"

[DOUBLE H]

Ah yes, with the organ putting out bubbles everywhere! YIKES! Believe it or not, Lawrence Welk actually charted a couple of singles on the Dot label in the early '60's; "Calcutta" and "Baby Elephant Walk". I don't watch a lot of PBS television, but I understand he is on PBS from time to time.

The Turtles, "So Happy together" & Dion Warwick, "Do you know the way to San Jose" la la lala lala lala la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Bazzwell]

Mom appreciated most types of music but really tried to push the classical line. For decades she tried to convince me that my life was incomplete without a thorough knowledge of the form. Didn't work one lick. The only classical piece that ever sank in was Smetana's Moldau, and that only because it was used on Captain Kangaroo.

One of the best live shows I've ever seen was Tom Jones. He is a fantastic entertainer. I saw him in Vegas, too, at the MGM Grand. Double bonus!
