I've been blown away a few times in my life. For Christmas one year my parents gave me a new 45 rpm release by John Lennon called Cold Turkey. I knew John was in the Beatles and I liked a couple of their tunes (Tomorrow Never Knows) but I never heard any solo work by him. I've gota ask why my parents why they gave me that 45? Anyway, when the needle hit the groove I heard a guitar the likes of I've not heard since. John started singing like he was deranged and about to take succumb to some awful fate. I played that 45 at least 20 times that Christmas Morning and learned there were things much worse than the Bogeyman who lived beneath my bed.
Also one day while riding in the car of a high school friend I was blown away by a song that fit everything I had been searching for in the way of cosmic sounds. "Lucky Man" by ELP fulfilled my wildest dreams of the possibility of music. What was that sound? It was a Moog synthesizer. The journey had begun...WOW!
