Some big band concerts at large dance venues with parents in the 50’s (I was 5?). My father Glen Miller albums in 60’s. At night, turned down with my ear to speaker to hear tube console radio /record player in bedroom in mid 60’s when I was a supposed to be asleep; rock and roll. First albums late 60’s on parents counsel stereo. “Portable Sears stereo”, late 60’s with rock concerts in late 60’s, The Who, Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane… etc. At college, first good component Marantz 1030 integrated. First high end amp Threshold 500… also my first loan… $5,000 in 1979? Added category after category of music each decade. Traveled the world and added international music. Now all Audio Research Reference components and Sonus Faber Traditional speakers in a large, acoustically excellent listening room.
What a long strange trip it has been… Grateful Dead.
