    I was a little girl (African American) in the Bronx. All my father would listen to was Kenny Rogers & Country Western Music. So his children grew to love it. The funny part was this BLACK MAN PULLING UP BLASTING THE GAMBLER ...

      Tomas Balciunas music is a magical way of teaching. I remember music more than anything from my childhood. Its why I don't think two year olds should hear gangsta rap. When I'm alone in the morning, at my worst, hangover and sad, what I hear in my head is Eagle's songs. My dad was a musician so I don't doubt that factor, but no child should ever hear music promoting something horrible. I remember songs I learned in other languages as a kid, including Latin and an African tribal language. Dude. Seriously.

    When I was 18 years old, my boyfriend (who is now my husband) was getting ready to deploy overseas. The night before he left, he took me into his living room then put on this song and danced me around his living room while he sang it to. Many, many years later, the best man at our wedding sang that song for our bride and groom dance. It's been 30 years and two kids and that is still one of my favorite memories.
