That's an interesting take, TK.
I didn't grow up in a very 'musical' household. My older sister oohed and aahed over Elvis, so maybe she played his 45s on her 'briefcase' record player, but if so, I have no recollection of it.
We had a couple of AM radios around the house, but my only memories of them being on was listening to hear if the schools were closed due to snow. So even with two teenage siblings, I didn't grow up in a house filled with music.
In a quirky twist, my mother would sing while doing her housework, but she didn't like music playing in the house. Maybe that 1970s Marantz ad applied to her, and it was the distortion which made her skin crawl.
I did love playing records on that aforementioned briefcase player, the spinning disc fascinating me just as much as whatever kid's music I was playing did.
I was ten when the Beatles hit in '64, and both the music and the cultural explosion of the 'British Invasion' was impossible to ignore. Over the next ten years it seemed that all my peers were talking both music and 'stereos' so that's where I think I really got the bug for both.
If it's genetic, for me, it may have skipped a generation or two, because neither of my older siblings seemed to care much for music, except in that dancing or background way you mentioned. That, or maybe I'm actually the milkman's son. [insert winky face]
