Evolution of Musical Taste

As I get ready for Girl Baby, I am making a list of what she needs to know.

On the top of that list is music.

Music is important to me and I have pretty strong opinions.

I got to thinking...where did my musical taste come from?

This is what I came up with.

Mom and Dad

Country (good country not this new fangled crap)

Oldies

1960's ensemble folk (Christy Minstrels) 

Tom Jones

David Cassidy

Classic Rock

Laverne who I worked with

R&B

Motown

1960's Southern Baptist Choirs

Patricia my friend in 6th grade and my Uncle John

Metallica

Poison

GNR

Def Leppard

Paul Weller

The Who (who from then on were my favorite band)
