BEATLEMANIA 40 YEARS LATER
Watching CBS Sunday Morning today got me thinking about the influences on my own musical taste. The Beatles got their start long before I joined the world, but thanks to my favorite aunt, I had lots of exposure to their music from an early age. My mom loved show tunes, so that had a big influence, and my dad is a blues man. Piano lessons got me excited about classical music for a few years. And of course Top 40 music videos and peer pressure played their part, so the result is one mixed-up collection of favorites.
