Preschool, I remember my twin brother and I used to play Bolero over and over on a portable 78 player.
My mother played piano pretty well and practiced everyday when I was young. She liked Franck's Symphony in d (Monteux). My older brother and twin brother learned to sight read music and play instruments. I never was a technical musician, but I ended up being a pretty good baritone--still am.
My father played some classical and jazz records but was pretty tone deaf. He had some Caruso and Gigli records that I remember. My mother specially liked Richard Crooks.
We listened to the Saturday afternoon Metropolitan Opera broadcasts--remember Milton Cross?
So we were well established classical music lovers early on.
