I'm 55, my 21 year old daughter gave me a big band CD

[Ptah]

A nother day in paradise?

1. Better than getting some 78s

And her telling you "Here, you can play these on your Victrola".

No :shrug:

[MadHound]

2. Hey, I'm ten years younger than you

And actually enjoy big band music, both the bands of yesteryear, Miller, Goodman, etc, and the modern takes on it with Brian Setzer, etc. There is actually a huge amount of talent, and it's fun to listen to.

But then again, hey I like almost all genres of music:shrug:

3. Big band rocks, brother!

You have fabulous taste in music. Is the big band era usually not part of that?

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Say on, sista!

I loves me some Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Louis Prima... swing heil!



BTW — y'know you and I are at war for the next couple hours, right? :evilgrin:

[Ptah]

7. War, what is it good for?

[bertha katzenengel]

8. Of course! I was looking for the Gameday app, but can't find it --

maybe it's only for when the season starts.

I love the Freeway Series. :hi:

11. Gameday was there last night...

They've changed the front page from last year, though...

[bertha katzenengel]

14. hmm.... will keep looking

Thanks!

Here y'go. :hi: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/subscriptions/gameday_audio.jsp

6. I am so happy that my daughter enjoys the best.

Your kindness will be with me for
the rest of my days:








:hug: :hug: :hug:

9. Oh, Sweetheart, I know you will never forget this.

I feel so blessed to have given you that gift. You don't need to keep posting it.... but god, that you are so grateful moves me so.

:hug: Sigh.

16. He was my bud. High School.

19. L.

:hug:

[Ptah]

20. From our yearbook: (dial up warning)

:cry:

[bertha katzenengel]

21. oh, god, oh, god

i wish i were there to hold you.

Please let me go to The Wall with you if you ever visit DC.

[Ptah]

22. Your photography transported me.

Thank you for the pictures.

I will be forever grateful.


:hug:

4. Well.........

I suppose it's better than her buying you some heavy metal or punk or even rap, the bands of which the names are barely pronouncable!

I feel old when I think about my first band favorites or groups--it's kind of quaint to be in love with Paul Revere and the Raiders, Herman's Hermits and the Monkees nowadays. :)

People take your year of birth and assume that the music playing in that time and place would be among favorites. They neglect to think that musical inerest usually takes at least a decade to take affect. You would probably have been fairly happy with Elvis, the Beatles, or Frankie Avalon, I assume?

10. Here she is when she was young:

I love my daughter!

[reyd reid reed]

12. Lucky you...

I'd love it if one of my kids gave me a big band CD.

[saged52]

13. Daughters are the greatest -

I recently turned 54 and my 24 year old daughter gave me a Charlotte's Web DVD and a Jefferson Airplane album she snagged off of eBay. Straight to my heart.

[Ptah]

15. Jefferson Airplane!!!

How cool is that.

I get a charge when my daughter plays Eric Clapton.

Sometimes I think our children are listening.

:hippie: :hippie:

[saged52]

17. I think so, too

I love it when she and I are riding in my car together and I have the radio on a classics station and she knows all the words to a Bob Dylan song. Prompts additional great conversation.
