Jimmy Buffett. Cheeseburger in Paradise was the first song I knew all the words to. I must've been the classiest five-year-old in town, riding around with my dad in his bitchin' T-Top Datsun singing 'good god almighty which way do I steer.'


This is me 100% except for the Datsun part.

My parents were and are pretty damn cool, musically. Dylan was played in our house a lot, back in the day. I learned about O Brother Where Art Thou from them before I heard it anywhere else.

Neil Diamond - Grew to love his stuff and am going to see him in L.A. in August - 40th anniversary of Hot August Night!!

Simon & Garfunkel - Thrilled to see them live a few years ago

Tom Jones - great performer!

Kenny Rogers - a lot of underrated album track material in the 70's

Some great soul singers from the 60's - Joe Simon, Clarence Carter, etc.

Simon & Garfunkel
Andy Williams
K-Tel (early rapper) collections
Musicals like South Pacific and Guys and Dolls
Joan Baez

I think 2 or 3 of those were 8-tracks that came with a car we bought as a bonus.

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run. You never count your money, when you're sitting at the table, there'll be time enough for countin, when the dealings done." Live by those lyrics. But the rest of KR sucks. I like the pitcher better.

I wouldn't say it was forced on me, but my Dad had, and still has, a Merle Haggard tape from the 80s. Seriously, he probably listened to it over 1000 times and me probably 500.


Maybe that is why I am such a big Merle fan now.

Parents didn't let us listen to music, or watch television.

My pops would always listen to 70's and 80's rock. Glad he did, b/c I grew to love it. Really got me into The Beach Boys.

Mom would listen to country, still not a huge fan.
