Hello World! I have always loved music. As a very young child, I remember hearing Jesus Christ Superstar and Johnny Cash. My first musical purchase was a 45 (a little record with a big hole). I chose The Beatles (Penny Lane) and my brother picked out an Elvis 45 at Sears. I remember my stepgrandmother’s 78 (a little bigger record with a smaller hole) … Purple People Eater. Speaking of purple, does anyone remember Donny Osmond’s purple socks? The Grease soundtrack was my first album. That was the best birthday present ever, along with a lime green beanbag chair. Oh yeah! Many hours were spent in that bean bag “singing” along with The Eagles and Billy Joel. I even had a bargain bin Bruce Springsteen 8 track. In school there was one cool teacher who would play Pink Floyd.. we don’t need no education…! I was an MTV child. U2, Madonna, Bon Jovi, and Van Halen videos helped shape my musical experience. My cassette collection included Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Boston. I was country too, when country wasn’t cool (Alabama) and played some folk (Dave Mallett). I could write volumes about my early musical loves but I think you have the idea. My taste in music continues to be eclectic (rock, pop, musicals, country, folk, alternative, and a whole lot of artists that should have more mainstream success). Now I download music and put on my blue tooth Beats. I check out bands on YouTube and social media. No more waiting by the radio for a favorite song to come on. Music is just a click away!
Thanks for checking in!
