Our music was broad in our family growing up and we went to NYC occasionally, more often to the BushneLL. I homeschooled the children and tried to give them a similar broad scope in Music. I provided American Songbook, medievil classical of all kinds, musicals, crooners, serious singers, and fifities and sixties music, while their father helped them become familiar with seventies and up to current music.
My son is the only black country western music fan I know.
Music knows no color/race and it shouldn't!
When I was growing up, Tennesse Ernie Ford was VERY popular, as was Patsy Cline, so even though I grew up in NYC, I and other kids I went to school with, were ( I still am ) fans of country western music.
