During my youth, I grew up with Soul, and Motown music influences. And of course tons of Latino music ranging from Rancheritas to Cumbia tunes. Through my transistor radio too! I grew up in Texas...so and I recall when we were just kids fun times with mom,dad,myself and my brothers going fishing and camping together in New Mexico and during those times I was able to discover the tunes to some great Country Western music. Later in life, I became intrigued with romantic Jazz and R&B Ballads. Today, I enjoy exploring the tastes and expressions of various vocalists and musicians to hear them bring out a blend of the past with enjoyable sounds of today...comprising of a variety of genres. My diverse span of music tastes shows a music genre perspective that has been rich in variety in terms of the past and the present in music and how it affects our future. I especially have appreciated old and new songs about comfort, hope, and love shared with me and friends all over the world in my Faith . Life is full of events and we are all affected by changes and feelings, especially as we face critical times today that were foretold thousands of years ago.Therefore, writing, talking,or even singing about those feelings is healthy to our nature as human beings. Music was in existence in even before life on earth and will remain in the universe forever!
