I grew up on country music but when I really took notice of how it made me feel was when I was about 5 or 6 yrs. old.On the television was a movie my mother was watching and I started hearing this voice and rhythm that I had never heard before. At that young age I could not sit still while hearing it...I had to dance around the living room..there was no controlling myself lol. The man singing was Elvis Presley and I had such a crush on him lol.I luv country,classic rock, some jazz and even reggae.I can hear reggae or calypso and it takes me back to the beaches at Padre Island.Good times!

I have always felt I coud relate more to country songs.
Yea I have noticed people you'd think would'nt listen to country are liking it now.Maybe its more progressive now versus the older country sound, I dunno.
Yea I remember singing into my hair brush,that was the best microphone around lol.

I think I've always liked music and the way musci makes me feel...I've had my favorites through the years..could never afford to buy any 45's while growing up but when my older brother bought a "hi-fi' ..I loved listening to his records (he was older and worked)but I think my true appreciation of music came when my youngest daughter pursued music even at a young age..voice lessons..Casa Kids..she is a music major..sings opera...beautiful voice

I enjoy several types of music, but my favorite is that of the Texas country music scene. Some are referencing this type of music as Americana music. Some of my favorite artists are Max Stalling, Mark David Manders, and good old Jerry Jeff Walker.

WOW! It seems like besides eating and sleeping,music is another part of our life we can't be without. many of you mentioned country. I have met many people who are big fans of country and here is what I have noticed most of the time, they are such nice and emmotional people, in a good way . There is a gener of music for hispanics, to be more specific mexicans that is the equivalent of Country music that is Norteña Music even though there is other latin genres Like Banda,Ranchera, and Cumbia.It is my job to know this as a MUSIC DJ. Here is a trivia question for all of you. Where does the MARIACHI music come from before it ended up as part of the Mexican Culture?
