I often think one of the greatest gifts my Father gave me was exposing me to such a huge variety of music. My appreciation of music exists on so many levels, I can't imagine being deprived of such an experience. It's definitely something I've passed onto my children, they love music of all kinds, for all kinds of different reasons. I don't have any suggestions for you (no, Gordon Lightfoot is not going to put you in any good graces), I feel badly for you though.
