Music and Family

Welcome back to this special blog. For this interview, I have decided to interview my grandma as I think she has an interesting history with music and likes a lot of bands that I do. My family grew up in Binghamton, New York which is a small town in the upstate region. She has a lot of cool experiences from childhood that will be shared in this blog.

Me: What is your earliest music memory?

Grandma: The earliest significant music memory I have is watching the Beatles on TV in the 1960s. Everyone was going crazy about them, especially the girls. They would cheer them on like crazy almost to the point of the band being inaudible.

Me: Tell me more about the Beatles.

Grandma: The Beatles music was revolutionary. We used to know the lyrics to all their songs. They played so many songs and we just memorized them. That era had a lot of good music, that's why I listen to it all the time here.

Me: Who was your favorite Beatle?

Grandma: Paul McCartney was my favorite, but Ringo Starr and I share the same birthday (July 7), although he is a little older than me.
