Musicals, opera and whatever was in the Top 40.

Mum & Dad bonded over musicals. One of the first films they went to see together was a musical and both were slightly embarrassed, worried what the other would think. In the 60s you went to see what was on, regardless. Turns out they both loved it.

Mum was raised on Opera because Grandad was a stage-hand at that point and could get free tickets.

And Dads, despite almost crippling shyness, ended up as the chief record buyer for the works record library. So from a very early age we had access to everything in the charts; and not just the singles that my well-off friends could talk their parents into buying for them.

Saying this, none of us grew up with any real musical bent.
I still love musicals, and will bust out a tune in the shower. But Sissy and my bro are meh about music. None of us are particularly passionate. I go for lyrics rather than tunes.
