Gads!! I remember most of the Pop/Country ones, and recognize most of the Classical........this is great!! My dad used to sing me to sleep with Classic Golden Country--Ernest Tubb, Tex Ritter, T. Texas Tyler, Bob Wills, etc. Most all of that still makes me cry, I miss him so.
Other "seminal" music for me--the late '60's coffehouse tunes, like Four Strong Winds, FareWell to Newfoundland, Leavin on a Jet Plane......etc. What made me want to be a performer was listening to and watching Stuart Mossman entertain. Both he and the audience had such a good time. (and besides, he managed to get my DAD!! to smoke a little.......uh, never mind.)
