I can’t really think of anything other than some classical music. My parents were just old enough that they were pre-rock n roll for the most part (although my father saw Bill Haley And The Comets in concert at some point). Growing up he had a lot of crooners, jazz and bluegrass albums, but nothing that I ever explored much further. What is interesting is that in recent years he has come around to like some of the music that I grew up with. I have even taken him to see Fleetwood Mac, Trans Siberian Orchestra (which totally blew him away), Gordon Lightfoot, Bella Fleck and others in recent years and he owns albums by all of them now. My father is 84 and back in the summer apparently he had Palladia on and goes “I saw this band on TV that I thought were really good…….they were called Umphry’s something” What he had seen was Umphrey’s McGee’s live from Red Rocks concert. I told him I have seen them several times. When I was growing up he hated most of the music I listened to, but he has come to like some of it in his senior years.
