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.

1960s, my parents bought a "HIFI;" one of those large pieces of furniture with a desktop that opens to reveal a record player and storage area for LPs. On the front were the Lf and Rt speakers covered with some fabric.
Anyway, I grew to hate music listening to the Ray Coniff Singers and "Sing Along with Mitch"(Miller) every night. Finally I was given "Meet the Beatles" as a gift and that's where it started for me. Then I added some "Stones" and that big headshell with it's stylus tore the crap out of all my records.
