Me and Music

Music, what kind of music do I listen to? I’ve always been surrounded by music, all types. My mom’s love has always been country, so yes, she was “Country, when Country wasn’t cool”. She exposed my sisters and I to all her favorites while riding through town in her huge 1979 LTD, that thing was a tank! Jack, my step father came into my life when I was only 3 years old, so yeah, he’s been around a while. It wasn’t uncommon for him to refer to himself as the music genius of our house. He had every album from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Clear Creedence Revival, Grand Funk Railroad, you name it he had it. With all his music I was exposed to something other than Country, and I started to like it. As I grew into a teenager I began to listen to my own style of music. New Kids on the Block or N.K.O.T.B., Janet Jackson or even Michael Bolton. By this time, I would say I’ve been pretty exposed to different music styles or so I thought.

Years passed and music artist seem to be more popular for the “one hit wonders” than having multiple albums as previous artists. As soon as you really got into what you thought was an upcoming artist they were exposed for not actually performing the songs and their career gone overnight. As I became more mature I always found myself leaning back towards that country genre. Was it because the older I get more like my mother I’m becoming or is it just comforting to me? That question ran through my mind several times before I just realized, country music is really what I love. Present day you’ll find me listening to Christian, classic rock, country, Tejano, hip hop and some R&B. I’m really easy going and no matter what’s on the station I’ll sing along. As far as my car goes, unless you pay for the gas you don’t get to pick the music.
