First song to "Blow You Away"...

Cool Jerk was the first song that penetrated my skin and awoke my soul. But the one which melted my brain was The Pusher, performed live by Steppenwolf at mt first concert. That was a game changer for me.

1967, ten years old, and having immigrated to this great country (USA) a mere two weeks earlier, I heard "Hey Jude" by The Beatles on my uncle's tube radio (Fisher). Couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but my God, I had never heard anything like it! Had never heard r&r. I will never forget that moment. In a way it encapsulated everything that was new about leaving a communist country for a free one.

Then there was Navrath singing Canteloube's "Songs of the Auvergne" thiry years later, and .....

Fields of fire by Big Country. The fact that the bagpipes in that song made the hair on the back of my neck stand up was a revelation. i was 13 or so. i think thats when i really knew i liked audio, if i remember that long ago. good times.
