I was also a weird kid......still am! While my friends were into Hendrix, Cream, etc I was into Wes Montgomery, Johnny Smith, Jimmy Smith, Tony Mattola, Miles, and other jazz musicians including big bands. I still am into them.
I have three kids. All three are into all genres of music, both old and new, but not rap if you classify rap as music, which I don't. Of course they have been exposed to all genres since day one.
