I remember in the late 50s, when my brother Kenneth brought home a recording of a new rock-n-roll singer named Buddy Holly, my dad didn’t think it was the right sound and believed the record couldn’t possibly match the standard of his Beethoven or Mozart recordings!

He would have continuous discussions with Kenneth about playing them on his radiogram. And as for the Beatles and Rolling Stones records I wanted to play a few years later, no comment!

Both of my siblings were taught to play classical music on the piano by our Aunt Win. As for myself, in 1962, I was too captivated …
