Many of the folks on my dad's side of the family were very musical, but what is strange is how not musical I am. Although music is a huge part of my life now and I've written a game soundtrack and write a blog about it, I didn't show any particular musical ability when I was younger. The push for a more musical life was a conscious decision when I was in my late teens. I don't know if that happens a lot or not, but it just gave me an idea for a new forum post!
