I think it's a teenager's sole purpose in life to embarrass, and be embarrassed by, their parents. I'm thrilled your father's concert was a success.

The only thing that could have made this post better was having a barbershop quartet singing in the background.

I know that as I get older I look back at all those times when I was convinced that my parents lived on a different planet to my friends and I and how so many times this was an embarrassing planet.

Now I'm curious as to why. I applaud your Dad for enjoying the music he loved. But, I can certainly see that at that time in history, that was not the music our generation was listening to. I would have thought it was "old fogie" music but now I can appreciate the harmony in it. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your photos.
