Very humble beginnings............and yours?

My parents bought me an Airline radio for my 13th Christmas on which I listened to  rock and rolll from WLS. KAAY, KIOA, KOMA and others....top 40.  Somehow, someway in my early 20s I became a fan of much of classic Jazz  and female Jazz singers.  The rock and roll I did visit a few times..mainly in live performances, Hall and Oats, Gene Pitney and several others.  Then while in Madison, Wi. I started visiting Jazz bars and lakefront fests in Milwaukee and Jazz has been my main interest since.  I do listen to some Classical and some Pop/Rock but most of my music library is Jazz and Jazz/Standards vocals. 

If you would like to share,  I would have interest in learning the route your music interests took on your way to where they are now.  Thanks,
