None whatsoever. My Mother liked a bit of classical stuff but my Father doesn't like music at all.

My Dad was very similar...all the crooners! Can't undertsnad anyone who has no musical tatse at all even if its country or classical. no musical taste means no soul.

Elvis and The Shads.......(now that would have been a better combination than Cliff and The Shads or, indeed, Elvis and The Jordanairres!)

Other than that.......loads of James Last or whatever was being played on 'Sing Something Simple' of a Sunday evening.

It's a wonder I turned out so well balanced!

Dad:

Frank Sinatra
Glenn Miller
Boney M
Abba
Glen Cambell

Bit of a mix really. He's 70 now and a couple of years ago wanted any Stranglers "Greatest Hits" CD for his birthday, so I duly obliged :)

My mum's never been a huge music fan, although she does like Barry Manilow.
