My mom belonged to the Columbia Record Club, and she got a new album in the mail every month. It was so exciting to see what she got.....much more exciting than the Reader's Digest Condensed Book. LOL!
Oh my gosh, so did mine! hahahahaaa! I loved to see what we would get in the mail. She also had the 5th Dimension, Simon and Garfunkle, The Association, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Roger Williams as well.
You're enough younger than I am.....my parents didn't have the above albums, but I did!

The First Family (Vaughn Meader), Jose Jimenez, Andy Griffith (by the seventh grade I had memorized and could recite What It Was Was Football). I contributed Bill Cosby, Smothers Brothers and Stan Freberg (but nobody else in the family got Stan Freberg).
I had totally forgotten about that, but my dad loved it! We also had the Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, here I am at Camp Granada. And all the Chipmunks albums! ahahahhaha! And Smothers Brothers.

They absolutely influenced me. My parents had Fats Domino, Bo Diddly, assorted big band, Jimmy Reed, Lena Horne, etc.
Once, when I was about 5 or 6, I had been left with a babysitter while my parents went to a dance. Probably at the Boat Club at Eagle Mountain Lake.
I woke up to some stuff going on around 2 or 3 in the morning. I walked in the den and there were about 25 people dancing and an all black (this was about 1961-62) blues band set up in the corner just wailing. It could've BEEN Jimmy Reed for all I know, he use to play in FW all the time. I didn't realize until much later just how hip my parents must have been.
Every night we went to sleep to Daddy playing his records over and over and over. Sometimes he would play the opening to a song 20 times. Friends would call and he would have them listen to a new song that had just come out. Daddy never met a stranger so we had many musician friends that would call us before they got to town to make sure they had a homecooked meal or a boat to go fishing on. One time someone's bus broke down and Daddy helped them get to Abilene with a rented U-Haul for instruments and our cars.
I have pictures of Mother and Daddy with everyone in the country music business back in 50s through the 70s. Young, new song writers would sit with Mother while Daddy schmoozed -- Roger Miller, Jimmie Webb, Kriss Kristoferson, Freddy Weller, Willie and from Fort Worth to Nashville.
Yes - Daddy's music influenced me and my brother -- incredibly. patsy, LOVE jimmie webb...many songs, but one of my favorites is macarthur park...most people hate that song, i love it...it's a song about love and life...
+1. I love Macarthur Park. That's one of the songs that I'll turn up the radio a bit when it comes on. People rag on the lyrics, but look at some of the lyrics of the other songs we liked. Come Together comes to mind. Not to mention I Am The Walrus - goo goo ga joob. There were a lot that didn't make much sense.
+2.
I never understood the lyricks, but I understood the passion. Great song.
rusty, KAAM, plays it regularly..legend 770...zelda, wish you were on this side of the pond to hear it...
