When did you start to love music and why?

My story is short but in 1962 our family lived on military housing in France. My folks purchased a Grundig tube console stereo and loved playing music with friends. This was my introduction to music. Interestingly when the Grundig (German made)stereo broke down we called for a French repairman. All he could do was cuss as he tried to make repairs. Finally he gave up and said only a german repairman could fix it.

I personally think that music is like a time machine and can instantly transport you back to a time and place but just as important it can be exciting and or relaxing.

A thread for the world! There can't possibly be someone out there who doesn't love music. Unless of course they suffer from some sort of disorder. I'm with Iso. Can't remember that far back. Probably something like 'Twinkle twinkle little star'.

I mentioned on another thread that my first fav was Johnny Cash's 'Ring Of Fire'. I was four at the time. I guess around the time I started paying attention to the radio. I became a Hi-Fi nut upon listening to my brother-in-law's new Yamaha system in '70.

My goodness! What a terrible loss. I sure hope you're wrong and those people are at least whistling while they work.

Come to think of it, in '65 my dad bought one of those. When it arrived, it had a Herman's Hermits 45 they threw in with it. Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter and Henry the VIII were the cuts. My sister and I literally wore it out. The older sister started bringing in Elvis' 'Spinout' (studio version) which is an excellent album. I've repeatedly tried to track it down but all that seems to ever have existed at any source is the sound track. Wierd. Then came 'Cream', 'Vanilla Fudge','Donovan','Melanie','Dylan', and 'The Beatles'.
