Speaking of good music, I was over at Stinkbudds thread, talking bout music, and it brought up a story and I had to share it here too. My 15 year old daughter comes home from school with a new music assignment. They each get to choose their artist and do a project on them. While everyone chose typical top 40 mainstream, my incredibly smart, talented and very tasteful girl chose Elvis Costello. You think I could fake all "oh yeah?" about it? No way. There is hope for our future!Duchie, I wish I could hang around you for a couple of days to soak in some of your camera skills.
What caught my eye, Peter Gabriel, I saw him when he was with genesis, watcher of the sky era. I don't even remember what I wrote so no worries about not answering.
I missed a lot of opportunities so see some great shows because of my age, but I was still immersed in their music. I have 3 older sister, ranging from 8 to 15 years my elders, so they're music influences on me were broad. One was all old country. Real grassroots stuff. Then there was my oldest sister, the capitalist opportunist socialite who listened to crap like "I bet your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden". God I could hang myself just playing that line in my head. Ha ha. gotta laugh cause my one sister would take me over to her place and leave me when I was being bad as to punish me. Then there was the youngest, my twin separated by 8 years. She was the rebel runaway rocker. My parents had no chance over her influence on me!
