My dad is a bit of a weird one. He has no music in him at all - couldn't carry a tune if his life depended on it - but he has always enjoyed music.
Some specific memories of dad music from childhood.
He had a Harry Belafonte album on the short rotation. Strongest memory is a song which must have been called O Cornelia Brown
O Cornelia Brown, what make your head so red?
O Cornelia Brown, what make your head so red?
They say you come out in the sunshine with nothing on your head
O Cornelia Brown, what make your head so red?

He had a few Sandler and Young records. I wonder if anyone knows who they are. That was some cheesy stuff.
He had a Hooked On Classics phase. He had an appreciation of some of the classics - which is to his credit - but the Hooked On versions ---> I dunno.
It was definitely not all bad. He liked Roger Whitaker who is not one of my all-time favorites but I can handle it.
