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 am lucky to come from a music loving family.Hoagy Carmichael is a cousin on my mother's side and she loved and played big band music often.My Dad sang and played guitar and one of my cousins from his side of the family is a professional gospel musician.We always had a hifi and turntable of some sort in the house.I had my own kiddie plastic turntable w/speaker and loved those Chipmunks too!I also remember playing the 45"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" over and over.
Next was my own tiny transistor radio.My favorite band was The Lovin Spoonful.Then came the Beatles,Herman's Hermits,going to concerts,and becoming determined to capture that live sound to enjoy at home.
