> hmmmm... my parents had Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and Iron Butterfly.

My parents had Beethoven, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Mozart, Gigli and Lanza.

When they came to an outdoor gig and saw me playing Heep, Sabbath, Purple, Santana, Zep et al - they had no idea what was going on....

My parents had a good range of classical music too. I loved it (and still do) except for the operatic stuff. Classical vocals have never appealed to me. Otherwise I love orchestral mujsic, and have a bit myself (though not all that I'd like)

red red wine
it just blows my mind
how everythings fine
when it melts my mind

You were spoiled as a child ><

My old man had all the rock influences you stated before, and then some... but I never had any classical music. AND THAT SUCKED!

Only now am I learning the greatness of Paganini, and his caprice's (not caprice the model).
