I'm just wondering if your children listen to your music? I have two sons, 15 and 25. My older son listened to my music when I played it - often. Never clicked. I decided to expose my youngest son to learning about music. He has been taking electric guitar lessons for six years. He showed no original interest in my music and had is guitar teacher teaching him about modern electric rock. I decided to take my son to Quebec's progressive rock festival, Terra Incognita two years ago. It clicked! Roine Stolt even quickly spoke to him during his show (showing appreciation for a younger audience member). It clicked for my 15 year old - he enjoyed all the bands.
Now my son borrows my CDs all the time. He knows which artists he is interested once he established a base. He's learned how to play good chunks of Crimson and Porcupine Tree songs.
What about your kids, go they like progressive rock? For younger members, did your parents turn you onto progressive rock?
