I was hooked. I would spend hours listening to this old music. I remember "Brown Girl in the Ring" (steady on!) by Boney M was one of my favourites at the time.

I remind you I was 5 or 6 at the time and i still love "old" music. Going through my ****s and 20s people 2 or 3 times my age would ask me how I knew of artists and music well before my years.

Your little girl will be similar I'm sure BS.

Kids that age are incredibly impressionable and their imagination get captured by all sorts. My son is now at this age and is completely besotted with architecture. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace...all the London stuff and Lichfield cathedral more locally are his favourites. Anyone who dares to question his interests are often given the sharp edge of my tongue.
Thanks and great post BarB it’s funny what kids get into and I agree you should just let them do whatever they like
I also remember listening to all my dads LPs as a kid he had a very wide ranging collection BoneyM, John Michel Jarre, He had a couple of Beatles albums and western film soundtrack albums, the wall by Pink Floyd he had about 40-50 English albums and about 200 Punjabi ones which I didn’t much care for
