Let's share key moments in our musical lives


Those moments that stick with us decades later.
1. My Dad buying me my first 45, ‘At the hop’.
2. Buying my first album with paper route money. ‘Meet the Beatles’.
3. Looping a Creedence album Xmas day, until my Mom yelled, “Turn that crap down”. First time I ever heard her swear.
4. Crying with my beautiful girlfriend (pictured) when she had to move. (We were sitting on her window seat and ‘Leaving on a jet plane’ came on the radio.
5. Buying my first expensive speaker set (M&K). The stereo store put on ’School’ by Supertramp. When that kid screams near the beginning, I about jumped out of my chair.
6. Going to a concert with my daughter to see one of our favorite bands, Cloud Cult.

Getting a pair of KEF Corellis. The ten dollar Tijuana-bought guitar I co-opted from my sister. Happening upon Mahler's Symphony #4 on the local radio station, one evening. Watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.
