When did you start to love music and why?

I am lucky to come from a music loving family.Hoagy Carmichael is a cousin on my mother's side and she loved and played big band music often.My Dad sang and played guitar and one of my cousins from his side of the family is a professional gospel musician.We always had a hifi and turntable of some sort in the house.I had my own kiddie plastic turntable w/speaker and loved those Chipmunks too!I also remember playing the 45"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" over and over.
Next was my own tiny transistor radio.My favorite band was The Lovin Spoonful.Then came the Beatles,Herman's Hermits,going to concerts,and becoming determined to capture that live sound to enjoy at home.

"I personally think that music is like a time machine and can instantly transport you back to a time and place"...

I always say this to my friends, this is very true.

My love to good music started when my dad bought a vintage technics turntable, along with a nice collection of records.

Me as well. I come from a music -loving family.
