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.

I had three music boxes when I was a toddler. One played "Hail to the Redskins" one plaid "The Marine Corp Hymn" and the other plaid "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" My mother still has the Fisher Price Raindrops one! I would play them constantly.
When I was a little older I would play 45s on my Dad's hi fi, a Fisher 400, KLH Model 6s and a BSR turntable. He would bring buss trays full of 45s home from his bar. I spent many a day listening to the best of the early '70s bar music.
Cheers,
