Music Memories #2

For this assignment, I interviewed my grandmother who is 74 years old. When she was a teenager and a young adult, she loved to listen to Perry Como. He was her favorite musician in the 40's and she heard his music on the radio. As she got older she told me she enjoyed listening to Elvis Presley because she loved his voice and the rock genre. She didn't attend any concerts when she was a teenager; she just listened to their music on the radio. Her tastes haven't really changed. She has always enjoyed listening to light rock music. Some of her favorite bands now include, The Beatles, The Eagles, and Journey. I think my Grandma and my tastes are very similar because we both like The Beatles, The Eagles, and Journey. In fact, the first concert I ever went to was a Journey concert with my parents. We both like rock music. I think both of our music tastes have stayed the same once we became teenagers because ever since she was a teen, she continued to listen to rock music. I don't see my tastes changing any time soon because I love everything about classic rock and even some newer rock bands. I also think I was turned onto this music by my parents and even my grandma because of the influence of being exposed to it at a young age. I have liked other genres of music such as pop, but as I got older and since I was about 14 or 15, I have consistently listened to rock music. My grandma's taste in music hasn't changed as she has always enjoyed listening to rock music.
