Hi Bonnie..

My Pop is 65 and has always been into music, he loves to sing. Nat King Cole was his favorite. He has always had a good ear for quality music, it didn't matter what color the musician was.

He has his fair share of rascist holdovers from that era....a comment here or there. But he is just talking without thinking, he doesn't really believe it.

My parents were actually quite progressive in raising me, they always told me to judge people on their merits and not on their color.

My folks were both raised quite poor, they have a great deal of empathy, I believe.

Scott

I enjoyed this particular post from you for what ever the reason.

I guess it's because it let us know a little bit about yourself.

He'd have a helluva good insight. (joined Standard Oil in 1950).

What did he do there?
