I'm 45 now, first became a mother at 25 and after that (and after having another child at 37), I didn't have as much time to devote to exploring music, although the yearning was there as strong as ever. My tastes have always been varied and that hasn't really changed -- but what I've had to do over the years is to squeeze in listening to/reading about new music between family responsibilities and other distractions. The result being that I've held fast to what has proved "golden" to me over time and as far as expanding my horizons and deepening exposure to newer music, I'm much more of a dilettante than I would like to be.
