I don't remember much, but I remember......

Not sure about you guys but it seems to me that things are getting a little tense here again and we need to have a little bit of fun! I was enjoying an evening of listening to my rig and then I saw it...my first CD(sorry guys too young for LP's!). I remember everything about the day I got it, the weather, the time, where it was purchase, even the price! The CD was U2's "Achtung Baby" I put the CD in(I have not listened to it in years)and was brought back to a time not too long ago when things seemed.....well, simpler. Then I got to think what a profound impact that one event had on my life, the joy of music. Does anyone else remember there first CD or LP? did it have as much of an impact on you as mine had on me?

My first lp was Jimmy Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" I purchased when it was just out and I was pre-puberty. I probably had to mow about 3 lawns to afford it. I actually had my father, an Episcopal priest, listen to the whole album with me. (His was the only stereo in the house, and it was in the living room.) Neither my father, nor I, had any idea what Jimmy was meaning. I also had him listen sometime later to Alice Cooper's lp "No More Mr. Nice Guy." What a sport, he thought it was pretty clever...come to think of it, I don't remember us sitting down together after that. [:)]

I am pretty sure my first 78 was either the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," or the theme from the TV show "Hawaii Five-0."

I did not own a cd player until 1994. I am pretty sure I bought "Dark Side of the Moon" first because I am basically politically correct about most things.
