My experience reflect exactly yours...
Except i was 13 years old in 1964...
Under my blanket hidden with a small transistor radio with Connie Francis ...
It begin my music journey...
But thinking about it all started BEFORE, when i listened choral traditional songs each day on the radio when i was really young around 4-5-6 years old...
I begin serious music listening with classical choral music and Bach.... After thirteen...Not the Beatles and the Papas and the Mammas i enjoyed among few others pop singers in my teen years , but i listened them less as a sacred solitary experience as for Bach or choral music as a mere occasional pleasure ...I guess i was too serious even young ... 😊 Or i disliked being as others people were... It was so in music too... I prefered books to any sports save biking alone and walking ...
