Same story here. My mom just turned 50 and over the years I have been playing so many cd's (my turntables used to be in a seperate room above the garage) in the morning (to get my engine going) that she became used to it and sometimes she said: 'I really like this, what is it?'. Thanks to years of enthousiastically talking about my idols and the parties I went to, my mom knows a lot of artists by name and she's pretty well-informed (for a mom that is...). I'm really lucky she let me go to all these parties even if it was far away or abroad. Now I live together with my girlfriend in the city of Ghent, but I'm still gratefull she never attempted to supress my musical ideas. Thanks mom!!

My dad is in his 50's and completely knows who Kenny Larkin and Richie Hawtin are. My mom likes Theorem (dales's) stuff too. I had Terrence Parker's 'Ten',CD one, playing in my car the other day and my dad said 'can we listen to that on our next road trip?!' They like the housier stuff better, and like some of the minimal and downtempo stuff as well. Though I must say, however, my mom has a small heart attack every time I come home with a big brown bag or records-but she thinks of it as just the thing "i collect" :) i love my parents:) diana >From: "Ben" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Ben" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "313" <313@hyperreal.org> >Subject: [313] Older people's views on detriot? >Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 21:44:33 +0200 > >Hi everyone hope you are keeping well!
