This list is what we want them to know, the classics, if you will.

Putting together such a list for your son is a great idea.

Here are two that have been important in my life.

My 1st suggestion is: "Malaguena"...
Almost any artist will do... even Liberace's was almost bearable.


My 2nd suggestion "Strange Fruit", may need some parental guidance.
But it was an important and classic piece of the civil rights movement.
I heard Josh White perform it in a tiny St Louis bar in 1962.

"Strange Fruit"... No other performer can do it justice.

I beg to differ.

Without Billie Holliday the piece might not have come down to us in the form we recognize today.
Who knows, we might not have even heard of it in these more recent times.
So we do owe a lot to her. It's an important contribution.

SM, if you like her version better that's really great... Pass it on.
