My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch 'The Andy Williams Show' on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn't be interested in.

I have a very open line of communication with both my children.

That doesn't exist here.

If you're trying to do what's popular now, you're way behind already. By the time you record it and do it and try to copy it, it's moved on.
