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.

1961 Grundig Console for me. Spent summers with my Godparents who owned this amazing piece of audio equipment for this time. Had a front door that opened to expose the turntable. Since I was 4 or 5 I could stand in front of this wonderful console and spin records for hours and hours. Everything from Elvis to Herb Alpert kept me mesmerized.

When my Godparents passed I was able to keep this piece of my musical history. I'm so thankful that they didn't "shoo" me away from such an expensive item but rather encouraged my to explore my love for music. The Grundig still works to this day!
