In 1975 I was too young to have my own stereo (or even be allowed to touch the 8 track in my aunt's car!) so I didn't get to pick my own music.

Then - Dad was still big on opera, playing the Irish tenor John McCormack while he worked in his basement workshop. Mom was probably in her Willie and Waylon phase by then. And most of my childhood memories seem to have Elton John playing in the background.

Now - I'm not an opera fan, I can hear Elton when ever I ride an elevator, but Willie kinda stuck with me. His Red Headed Stranger album is one of the few CDs I keep in the nursery.
