[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 251973, member: 746"] I started listening to Classical Music at a fairly early age, my Mom's record collection was mostly Pop and Standards (my parents had me late in life so their taste was more from the 40s - my Mom jitterbugged as a teen!) with some light Classical pieces mixed in. It was the Classical music that really appealed to me. I listened to Pop music also but found a Classical radio station and became a regular listener. A moment that cemented my love for Classical music (especially the music of Tchaikovsky) was listening to Tchaikovsky's "Winter Dreams" symphony on the radio while watching snow fall outside my window, it was as if the snow was falling in sync with the music. My Mom started collecting the Funk and Wagnall's "Family Library of Great Music" LPs - at the grocery store! - these came with a booklet with information about the composer, the works on the record and the culture of the time. I eventually discovered Donna Summer and other Pop artists that appealed to me. My taste in music is eclectic with my CD collection (over 2,500) being half Classical and the other half a mix of Pop/R & B/Standards. [/QUOTE]
