Moving on a bit, I was brainwashed by The Beatles and to this day I really don't like them. Sacrilege, I know.

My Dad was a Perry Como fan and fond of the Brat Pack singers, doing a fair impression of  Dean Martin.

My Nan used to come and put the Mario Lanza 78 on the radiogramme record player.

From the age of 8, my Dad would get me to sing Doris Day songs as he swore I sounded just like her. I wish.

I was awoken (literally) on weekend mornings with various offerings. My dad was a brass band man all his life (playing) but the Saturday/Sunday playlist was mainly the likes of Beatles, Supertramp, Dr. Hook, Pink Floyd. If my mum got her way maybe some Johnny Cash or the Clancy Brothers(?!).

It used to be most irritating when us yoofs wanted a lie in, but strangely I find all of it perfectly good listening these days.

And there's that old standby 'The Black and White Minstrel Show' which was awful.

My mum used to practise her piano on Sunday mornings, waking me up with strains of the scales and Barcarolle.  I used to hate it, then Elvis (my dreamboat) bought out a song to the tune of Barcarolle, so my mind quickly changed.  How I wish I could hear her now!  :( :( :(

I remember that bloody Scottish guy, think his name was Andy Stewart. Mum and Dad thought his show was great,I didn't. Shut myself in the other room and listened to the Stones,Gerry and the Pacemakers and the Beatles, "PROPER MUSIC".  ;D ;D

Another one I could not Srand was Val Doonican who wore jumpers and sat in a rocking-chair.  He was my nan's favourite.  Him and that screeching Frank Ifield should have been shot!!

I much prefer the songs of Mulligan and O'Hare.
