formspring q&a:

What do you listen to?
My taste in music is crazy. I listen to everything from Lady Gaga to Luciano Pavarotti. I also love classical music, like Beethoven, but most of the time I listen to music from the 30’s through the 60’s and I love all the music from the 80’s. Besides Lady Gaga playing constanly latley, The Beatles, The Doors, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland (Judy At Carnegie Hall, is played a lot) Bobby Darin, Connie Francis are played constantly.

How did you get into classic films?
I grew up very close to my Grandmother, I was always with her and she would watch movies all the time and of course, they were all classic films. I use to play sick to stay home from school to watch movies with her. I remember watching Blue Hawaii and All That Heaven Allows ALL the time with her. My mother also, a big fan of The Wizard of Oz, taped it off the tv for me after seeing it when I was little and loving it, I’d watch it’s over and over (the vsh tape is barley watchable anymore). We also had a tradition to watch It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas morning. I remember being really little and everyone watching it on Christmas morning in the kitchen. I use to also watch March of the Wooden Soldiers with Laurel and Hardy and Who’s Minding the Store? over and over, almost as much as I watched The Wizard of Oz. Also I would watch John Wayne movies (and still do) with my Grandfather all the time. My Aunt watches classic movies all the time to. So I guess you can say that everyone in my family, especially my grandparents, made me fall in love with classic films from a very early age. I remember in middleschool and highschool and talking to people about movies and I’d be the odd one and list movies that were my favorites and most of them that no one had heard of. I was shocked because I didn’t know any better, I thought everyone had seen the movies I watched growing up.

Sorry for my longwinded answers!

where are you from?

That is so sweet about your grandmother! I love it when people share stories like that, and how totally awesome!

PS: I’m from Boston too :D

I love hearing family stories too and sharing stories with people and I just love taking about my grandmother. She passed away, it will be 8 years on December 22. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I’ve been talking about her a lot, the last couple of weeks. It’s hard to talk about her without getting emotional sometimes when I watch the movies I mentioned above it’s really hard not to get emotional.

Yay for Bostonians! :)
