Answer 4

I grew up with mommy dearest and dad was so laid back he sometimes forgot to look to see if we (sister) were still living after a scene with mom. I have tried to think of someone that I admired but come up empty. I loved my parents, I am not mean, but sometimes life can turn on you.    Poppy

Answer 7

I have always had music around me, but it was not until I met this certain man, in England, when I was 20, that I was introduced to classical music and jazz.   We went to every symphony concert, and he usually brough the whole written music script with him, to show me how to read it.   He also played sax and had his own "Big Band".     His knowledge of any type of music was passed on to me, and the joy this has given me over the years is hard to describe.,  Long story, we got engaged, when our relationship was sabotaged by my mother.  Cut a long story short. I immigrated to Canada and he went on with his music career.   He is now a famous Symphony Conductor in London, Los Angeles and France.  Has written scores for 100's of movies which of course, makes him a very wealthy man.  This "poor musician" that my mother hated, was my music mentor and I was blessed to have him in my life. Yes I still look up to him and admire his musical accomplishments, but like everything else in life, I can see now, why what happened, happened.   I have kept music in my life both to enjoy listening to and being in the Entertainment Industry.  No regrets but much thanks for the wonder of music in my life, because of this mentor.
