Very humble beginnings............and yours?

My parents bought me an Airline radio for my 13th Christmas on which I listened to  rock and rolll from WLS. KAAY, KIOA, KOMA and others....top 40.  Somehow, someway in my early 20s I became a fan of much of classic Jazz  and female Jazz singers.  The rock and roll I did visit a few times..mainly in live performances, Hall and Oats, Gene Pitney and several others.  Then while in Madison, Wi. I started visiting Jazz bars and lakefront fests in Milwaukee and Jazz has been my main interest since.  I do listen to some Classical and some Pop/Rock but most of my music library is Jazz and Jazz/Standards vocals. 

If you would like to share,  I would have interest in learning the route your music interests took on your way to where they are now.  Thanks,

Similar to Corelli, my very first ‘music box’ of any kind, that I could call my own, was a crystal radio set my father bought me when I was pretty young. Remember him teaching me about it, stringing the line antenna to a tree in the front yard, and playing with that thing for hours, especially at night, amazed I was able to pick up stations with it.

That was my start.
