The movie "The Songcatcher" dramatized the discovery of this music and its link to old English music. > But a lot of the stuff I was hearing, I didn't care for, > but at least it didn't put me on edge like the rock that someone *else* > insisted on when the first person was out sick.

Tennessee and I've gotten a taste for the older, non-commercial stuff. Our musical tastes are fairly eclectic, from classical to jazz, to gospel, to R&B, to rock. Teri and I don't care much for rap, although I do like the very best of it. My kids are into singing older types of music with my daughter singing arias, my son loving to sing Cab Calloway, Sinatra, and Tony Bennett tunes. As far as I'm concerned, I say my kids have all my musical talent, that's why none is left. ;-) Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
