Tracks of your years?

What piece of music was passed onto you by someone you love, & what you pass-on to a loved one.

[andy-hughes]

Passed onto me was

'Suzanne' by Leonard Cohen, which kick-started a love-affair with his music.

Passed on by me was -

'Rihannon' by Fleetwood Mac which was memorable enough for my first love to give as a Christian name to her daughter.

how do you mean passed onto you???

[Bbbananas]

Passed on to me:

Over the Rainbow - (the version by Israel Kamakawiwo.)

I passed on:

Always on my Mind - Elvis.

for various reasons, both songs never fail to make me well up.

4get. A piece of music that they always played, or one that was given to you...any thing really.
The one that was given to me was at my best mates dads funeral (he was like a surrogate father). They played the duet from the pearl fishers as they were bringing the coffin in...it still brings a lump to my throat!

4get. Oh dear......did you play it?

[4getmenot]

yer I loved it, was only about 8

[dustinmyeye]

you cant say oh dear about the sound of music lol its a claaaaasic !!

i remember when i was about 8 i or 9 i was obsessed with the film, watched it constantly and wrote out all the song words and was forever singing them and my parents used to tease me by saying i fancied captain von trappe lol


sorry back to the question

my dad was an elvis fan and that is why he is now my all time favourite singer ever.
and on that same note i am now trying to pass that onto my son by him hearing me play it and i even managed to sneak an elvis song onto his mps player whilst loading music onto it .

My mother raised me on classical as well as Jim Reeves, Jonny Cash, Marti Robins and many more. And I still love them all.
But at 45 my music tastes range from Drum and Base, Marylin Manson, Green Day, The Levellers, anything 70's and 80's, Blues, Blue Grass, and yes I love The Sound Of Music to, in fact I love loads of musicals.
But the one that seems to have passed on to my own children more than any other is Jonny Cash.
