my mother was scratch that is also a musicianmade her living at it she started at the age of 4 humming which my gran finally noticed and got her off to piano lessons she was studying classical opera in college in the 60's when she tuned in turned on, (or something like that) hitched to nyc and worked in the village when alot of the famous musicians were just nobodys like her we came to calif with peter tork(the monkees) and hoyt axton.
so i was def exposed to alot of music growing up both other musicians as well as her own material (which we have just recently rereleased) but i believe that the one that got to her the most was "ice cream man" by van halen as for hers i recall anything she ever played as being unbearable but then i am highly biased was then am now she is def one of my idols an i aspire to be like her as much as is possible if anyone is interested our web addy is on my profile page and there is a link from there to a site that has taken the time to put sm sound bytes to sample. as for my kid well so far we pretty much agree on the music although i am still most fond of being able to actually HEAR the lyrics. (another thing from momma) these days i'm just as likely to listen to Kid Rock as i am any of my old faves i sing a bit but no where near like the angel voice of my ma. god blessed her without a doubt.
