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?

The first record of my very own was a 45 of "Sugar" by The Archies that came free in a box of Applejacks, I was nine; that was played on an Army green Sears stereo with detachable speakers and a handle.

My first record of music was Benny Goodman's Brussels concert, that I "forgot to return" to my best friend's father. On that record Benny plays "Poor Butterfly", the first jazz solo that I ever learned. When I listen to that record today, that particular band is almost unplayable, I played it that many times on the Sears.

The first record that I paid money for was The Allman's Brother's "Live At The Fillmore East". Wish I still had it.

Nice thread.
