there was always music in my house... LPs of classical music & the radio for what was then known as easy listening... though mom also played the piano & taught us the old songs she knew.

the ones I always enjoyed the most turned out to be folk/traditional music. and when mom was able to mail order through Publishers Clearing House and we got Alex Campbell's Best Loved Songs of Bonnie Scotland and A L lloyd & Ewan MacColl's Blow boys Blow.... well, I knew where my musical home was.... lol

been belting out shanties and ballads for the next 40+ years.
