This is interesting - yes, I'd like to do the meme. :)
I too got interested in musicals and old movies through my parents (although they weren't concerned about movies being "clean", it was more a matter of taste and fandom of classic actors/actresses). As a teenager I only liked old movies. Nowadays I like a lot of modern ones too but I'd still say the old movies have a very special fascination. You're lucky to able to actually see plays on Broadway, that sounds like a great experience.
I'm not a fan of country music but even I have to admit that some of the best voices are found in this genre. And perhaps it's simply something that appeals more to Americans just like we have probably a lot of customs and tastes that seem strange to you... :)
Gardening is fun. I love your tulips, they're very pretty!
You make your own jewelery? Now I'm impressed. I like pretty sparkly things too (especially earrings). Do you prefer a specific style (like art noveau or ethnic styles)?
Mysteries are awesome. I like that the genre has been around so long, there are so many varieties to choose from: Victorian, 1930s, paranormal, gay, historical, gothic... I agree, the most important part is that the story is well told. Suspense is nice too but I can't stand who-done-its with card-board characters. That's why I adore Dorothy Sayers so, her books are so much more than "just" mysteries.
I admire people who can play an instrument, that's a beautiful skill. Good luck with finding a new teacher. Do you play classical pieces or more modern music?
