This post comes directly from my Father. I undoubtedly owe my adoration and taste in music to him. Growing up there was always music in the house, whether it be from the stereo, or the piano my dad loves to play.
In honor of F being the next letter in my series, I asked him to pick out some of his favorite albums, artists, or songs that begin with the letter F. I got some great selections from him, and made the F is for Father playlist below. Fifteen tracks from my Father on the Fifth.
