Music and My Family

My family is not a very musical one, but like most people they at least listen to it. My maternal grandparents listen to country music. Some of their favorites are Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. I remember from my early childhood my paternal grandparents listening to and singing along with Mexican music, but not since my grandfather died. Now I mostly hear my grandmother and her new husband listening to classic rock, which I contribute to the fact that her new husband was a drummer in a rock band in his younger years. My mother listens to anything on the radio that is popular at the time, even if she doesn't know what the lyrics mean. I'm not sure what she grew up listening to, but I know she played the trumpet in the high school band. My father also listens to a lot of classic rock, as well as contemporary christian music. He sang in his high school choir. My sister and I have never had the same taste in anything until now, especially music. I'm convinced that her previous taste in music was determined by whatever I didn't like. Now that we have both been away at college for a few years, whenever we come home we discover we like the same bands. I listen to a little bit of everything. I mostly listen to alternative and rock music, but also electronica, country, pop, and classical. I'm sure there is more than one genre I am forgetting to mention.
