First song to "Blow You Away"...

Soul Serenade by King Curtis. Went out and bought a sax.

Only the Lonley (Roy Oberson). It cost be a ton of nickles in a juke box. Man, even then this hobby cost me all my spare change.

1973, I was into Bowie, T.Rex, Zeppelin, Purple, I'd just bought Fireball...every thursday when I get in from school, everyone else would be out for a couple of hours more. Time for my best music! Well, one day I noticed that my elder sister's boyfriend had left a record here, Dvorak New World Symphony, Kertesz/LSO. Put it on... after a couple of minutes took it off again bored. Following week, same scene, this time I told myself I WILL listen to it all. The allegro exploded after that slow introduction! I fell in love with the symphony orchestra and symphonic music that day, sold off my rock/pop albums within a few weeks, and started collecting classical. My own first purchase was Klemperer's Bruckner 5, and I still love Bruckner's symphonies perhaps more than any others. Because of a quiet house, and a guy who left his stuff lying around.

i wanna hold your hand...the beatles

Aqualung by Jethro Tull on the car radio....
