Mary Ellen,
You did bring in a good topic.
As I have mentioned music was our life ffrom a very young age my father was always playing his guitar (martin d series from a long time ago). He was quite enarmored of bluegrass, any kind, I am a product of that background and so bluegrass just fills something in my soul. My mother loved big band music. They both taught us to enjoy all music forms and I do. Sometimes against the ideas of others....but, for me there really is no bad music or untolerable music. Even the polkas are great, Lawrence Welk is fine,
None I can think of that would be awful, really. When I had heard Gord's music my father was playing an album one day, it must have been the two tones, and I said "who is that?" My father said "Gord Lightfoot." I said "nuh uh." and my mother said "yes it is". I persisted with my inability to see Gord, who I knew from EMR, IYCRMM and Sundown (what I considered cool) as capable of these extremely folkie songs, some where between that yesterday and what is I found tolerance for all music.
Good topic. We are who we are.
