occasionally have made several of my grandkids aware of this musical genius… my son in law calls it “educational music”. One of my grands is 13 and taking guitar lessons, so naturally I have expanded his education over the last couple years to exposing him to Mark Knofler, David Gilmour, Prince…. All very low key of course. Well last night I got a text. “Grandma- I’ve been listening to Van Morrison. He’s really good!
Also- Dire Straits!” I mildly said “Mark Knofler is a god.” “Yea! he said- Clapton even played back-up to him!”
I was gnashing my teeth privately while making a few more mild responses- you never want to scare them! But I sure went to bed happy.
