5th grade, man! I won an am/fm boombox with a tape player at the spelling bee!!! yeah, you read that right! I slept with that thing listening to new wave (kroq radio) in LA. It sounded fantastic listening to all those synthesizers. I was hooked. I begged my parents to buy "for the house" the all in one piece pilot system with the separate speakers!!!! wowwww!!!! a console system!!!! and it was all practically mine!! I had a great childhood. that was only the beginning. what memories of old....so much has happened since then. I love the stories here.
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.
