Think of it this way, Patrick: you're ahead of the curve. My two (very  
hip -- in their own minds, at least) sons though my music was "weird",  
"strange", "ridiculous". It wasn't until they heard the music live (at  
one of my book launches) that they understood where the music was  
coming from. Now they ask me to play some of the recordings.
