It is great to see, and listen to two brothers who are, clearly, best of friends sharing their passion for music.

Loved watching this!! I am 19 and I can say there are a lot more kids that listen to old music. My band plays zeppelin, sabbath, Hendrix, grand funk, fleetwood mac, Janis Joplin, Beatles, and many more!!

I was the person who was fanning on you at the Rochester Induction ! I was so thrilled to meet you after watching your channel regularly. My 29 year old son shared!! An absolute pleasure meeting you and your brother John. Congrats on your Induction. You spoke so well about your beautiful family.

Rick and John, you are both so incredibly fortunate to have such a lasting "music" relationship as brothers and with your siblings. At nearly 61, I'm the eldest of five kids, and the only musician.

Congratulations on your induction! Interesting to hear of your family's musical tastes. I was in high school with your sister Pat. It's nice to hear of her eclectic taste. Those of us, of a certain age, were lucky in that, variety on the airwaves was a common thing bridging a whole variety of musical styles. Jazz, pop, blues, rock and soul. Fertile times for the head and ears!

Nice to see John again, want to hear his band.

Wish I grew up when any of that music came out. What a wonderful musical family

My father used to do funny Lawrence Welk imitations when the Welk show was on. I'm older than you both (about five years), I graduated high school in 1973, so my music was the late 1960s early 1970s. I loved hearing about the music you played and listened to. Congratulations on your induction Rick.

So nice to meet your brother John and hear the stories of your growing up together. It is easy to see the source of your musical depth, Rick! What a diverse set of musical tastes were in the Beato home! Amazing!

Nice video discussing the music that your family members liked. The parents were huge late 50's fans of the Platters and other groups and top 40 radio in the 60's. As they got older, they were into "real" country music. I have only one sibling, my brother, who is 9 years and 6 months younger than I am. I am 67 and he doesn't like the 60's and 70's music that I love all that much. However, we both share our love of the 80's period of music. Surprising that in his teens, he was (and still is) a huge fan of Stray Cats. He got me hooked on their music. After he married, he wasn't a huge fan of 90's music, but I am obsessed with it. We are polar opposites of each other with everything else due to our age difference, but it is great that our shared music tastes give us something that we have in common and can reminisce together about the good times growing up. Music is the great equalizer.

This conversation with and about the family is very endearing..

OMG…I just turned 60 …SO CRAZY…this sounds EXACTLY like my house growing up. Great video Rick..you too John…I’m having flashbacks ❤

[cliveshalice]

This illustrates beautifully the power of music and it's ability to bring people together in a way that nothing else can.

[mkatepaski]

More John please! Congratulations Rick, well deserved!

[fendr]

Rick really enjoyed listening to you and your brother going down memory lane together. It’s nice to know more about your musical background that got you to where you’re at now. Thanks!

[jarodvmusic]

Super cool! I have learned so much from you and now I get to learn from your brother too. Congratulations on getting getting inducted in the Rochester Music Hall of Fame!!!

[auralsonicwaves]

I'm 71 and I completely identify with your older brother! But I remember Lawrence Welk religiously watched every Saturday night by my parents. Loved listening to you reminisce.

[JimDuggan-tqlv]

Awesome Rick, now we need a video of you and your brother playing guitar together.

[abelincoln]

It is obvious that you guys are very proud of your family & your relationship. It is very heartwarming!!! God bless!!!
