One thing that recent posts reflect, which I forgot to take note of is that music that was played around the house (aside from the styles you, yourself, chose to listen to) probably had a very powerful direct influence.. My father used to play Lata Mangeshkar, Ravi Shankar, and old Indian film music, and I know it's been a part of my musical development. I also used to hear John & Yoko and the Plastic Ono Band - that was one of the more prominent early musical influences. Oh yeah, my parents used to play 'Free to be You and Me' for me on the tape recorder - anyone else remember this? I also used to like Peter & the Wolf and old Aesop's fables on 33.. Walt Disney records were in there too. Wow. Weird. D
