An issue of Avant Garde Magazine featured his work in the 60's. My dad was also a subscriber to R Ginsburg's earlier Eros Magazine.
so your dad had artistic sensibilities? trying to recall which if any magazines my father read. drawing a blank. new york times, bergen record and little else. not even time on the regs.
My mom had a BFA, she and my dad collected art, mostly regional stuff, they had a lot of friends who were artists. Dad was a music buff, mostly classical and opera but also liked some rock-n-roll, had albums by The Beatles, Stones, Small Faces, The Who. He read the local papers, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, US News and World Report He did not read Time or Life. He also subscribed to a magazine that I remember as having the title Human Sexuality, which seems like a kind of absurd name and I'm not finding anything about it online so it must have been a different title but the magazine seemed to be kind of scholarly. He also had a subscription to Screw which was not so scholarly.
ill have to admit i thought that was bills post. no golf digest though? hmmm. there were a few of those laying around. we had nat geo, psychology today and new york magazine but not the new yorker. my favorite magazine was the s&h green stamp catalog. there was a smattering of beatles albums and my mother professed to liking some of those early 60s folkies, like peter, paul and mary and the weavers and simon and garfunkel. not sure if she reached the dylan era. they married in 64 so the bulk of the late 60s involved raising brats and they never graduated to fm radio until the early to mid 80s when am was good and truly dead. we would occasionally indulge in ny culture, more musicals than classical though some. light opera was as close as we got to verdi. not surprisingly i developed little to no feeling for the visual arts. oh, my mother did play a smattering of piano and had a guitar though i dont recall her ever playing it.
My dad liked Simon and Garfunkel too, but no Dylan, not sure why. My aunt, dad's older sister, loved Dylan.
my fathers older brother i found out was into jazz. would have been born probably 1936. never pictured him as a hep cap. my father recently professed no particular affinity for pop music, rock, folk or otherwise.
