Firstly, have you ever been influenced by your parents, siblings, friends, whoever, in terms of your musical taste? And especially film music?
Yes, as documented on thte “Origins” topic.
Secondly, have YOU ever influenced, or tried to influence others regarding the virtues of our wacky music interest? Family, friends, colleagues? Have you made someone else catch the film music bug, ever?
Yes, but never really could “convert” anyone. Some had some interest but only among other music tastes.
