That seems like a better idea than simply converting a child to your own specific tastes. There are enough deluded people out there who think only their preference is the "right" preference, which is fine on its own, but trying to impress it on a child (basically against his will) is another thing altogether.
I like that you showed him there's something more than what's readily available in the mainstream, giving him availability of more options for choice, while also not making the impression that everything else but what you like sucks.
I get the feeling that a lot of people at this site wouldn't afford their own children that opportunity.
