Both my mother and father ( both born in 1927 BTW ) listened to Swing Time and other Jazz and Country ( Hank Williams, Roger Miller, Buck Owens, etc. ). My mother also liked stuff like Dean Martin, Engelburt Humperdink, Bing Crosby, etc. Wha was commonly referred to as Popular Music back in those days.
My mother also liked stuff like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, CS&N, CCR etc.
Though she would never admit it to my dad.
