Guest Len B'stard Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 In my Grannys day where she came from they never had radios or gramaphone records. I think like one person in the village had radio and they used it to listen to the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 My grandparents listened mostly to country and classical, but they liked the stuff like Artie Shaw, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. I remember them listening to some chick with glasses from Greece, Charo, Jose Feliciano and ABBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro3X5vpFdnULet's just say the old gal knew het shit. I actually love the first one. Ede Staal is pretty much a regional hero from the 80's, credited as the father of Groninger (the part of Holland where I live) music.

DieselDaisy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Nana Mouskouri's version of Ave Maria. Absolute heavenly.My Grandma saw Elizabeth Schwarzkopf live. I was fairly impressed with that, me being a fan of her singing (ignoring the Nazi association). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzygirl Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) II don't know if they had a radio back then and they definitely didn't have a gramaphone but the music they liked was typical Spanish music, tangos and rancheras.
