When did you know that music was your passion?

Was there a specific moment in your life when you realized that music was your passion? Was there a defining, earth shattering moment while listening to a certain piece of music that stopped you dead in your tracks? For me it was when I was 12 years old. I snuck downstairs into my syster's room while she was out. I used to watch her play records so I new how to turn on the "forbiden" stereo. I took a record from its sleave, put it on the 'table, and dropped the needle. Jimmy Page's opening riff of "Whole Lotta Love" shot through me like a bullet, and I was paralized. At that moment, music sunk its hooks into me and hasn't let go since. What about you?.......

I was 6 years old in 1966 when my older sister played 96 Tears by Question Mark and the Mysterians on her record player, I was hooked.

A year or so later, she won a copy of Cream's Disraeli Gears as a door prize at a dance. She played it once on her record player, she hated it, I loved it. She gave it to me. I bugged my parents for a record player of my own until I got one for my 8th birthday.

Cheers,
John
