along with 'Summer in the City' and Carole King's 'I feel the Earth Move Under My Feet'. I must have played those songs almost a hundred times as a kid.

My Dad was a soul music and rock guy. While my mom loved classical. But she did like Rod Stewart's love songs and George Harrisons My Sweet Lord

5. I heard classical music as a kid when my parents put me on their subscription to the National Arts Center

classical Orchestra season one year when I was about 12. I lived for the moment when I could go out during intermission and drink a coke with my friend Natalie (her parents also had a subscription for her). It never really took. I started watching ballet in bits on the internet lately and I recognize some of the music so I get classical music finally. It was too complicated for me before. So I get your wife's taste now too.
