Great topic Gryphon.
I too was calmed by music as an infant and we wore out a Gisele Mackenzie - Lullaby & Goodnight record.
My Mother played folk pop & jazz music - The Kingston Trio, The Seekers, The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Dave Brubeck, Gene Krupa & Rock Radio
My Father played mostly Classical Music/Opera - Andres Segovia, Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven & CBC Radio (classical/opera)
My Aunt who lived with us listened to Jefferson Airplane, Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Santana & Rock Radio
My Grandparents who I went and visited a lot had a Hi-Fi system and they always had music on - Herb Alpert, Gene Krupa, Mantovani, Glen Miller, 101 Strings and they listened to FM radio of Easy Listening.
So I had exposure to a lot of different kinds of music from the start. When my Aunt moved out she gave me her Record Player and I used it every day. I still listen to music every day.
