Your first musical affair

[GermanSteve]

What kind of music was the first one that you really were interested in?

I have been around 10 or 11 when there was that boom of disco music like
YMCA,
Funky Town,
I Can´t Stand The Rain,
Pop Muzic,
Knock On Wood,
Just an Illusion,
I Feel Love,
High Energy,
Magic Fly, and so on.

They played it at a public festival in my home town at the autoscooter - you know, these electric bumper cars - and I couldn´t get enough of it.

So, what was your first musical affair?

BTW my 700th post;)

No matter who was singing, I've always liked the softer sounds (at least for the most part) so my olders sisters liked Beatles - I remember seeing them on Sullivan was I was barely able to stand .... loved the way they sounded ... Eagles - oh yeah!!!! anytime - anyday; Folk/Ballad music like Gordon Lightfoot - For years whenever I'm falling in love/lust - I crave Gordon Lightfoot music .... The list is unending .... and I'm so thankful that there's always another song to sing!!! j

I was always interested in any music I could hear - my Mom liked hard rock and 70s rock Foghat, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, Van Halen and the like and my dad liked Country and bluegrass - Goerge Strait, George Jones, conway Twitty, Bashful Brothers Oswald and such and my stepdad liked anything he could learn to play on his guitar so I loved everything!!!!!!!

i grew up on motown, 70's funk, really early rap... yadda blah.

[roxanne916]

I grew up on Elvis <sigh>, alot of country, and oldies. I actually download alot of stuff that I remembered hearing as a kid. LOL I love Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, etc. Also Harry Chapin, alot of softer music.

I also like Guns and Roses. There's a line from Billy Joel's Modern Woman <album The Bridge> ~Maybe she's the quiet type who's into heavy metal~ very much me LOL :)

<and yes, i am a know it all, miss information at work>

Thank you alltogether.
Now another question: some have answered it already, but do you still like this kind of music today? Or has your taste changed so much that you feel ashamed of your "former sins"?

And another one: Which rememberings are mixed with that music?

[jjjjbo]

I still like what I've always liked -- ballads, soft kind of dreamy music of any kind, c&W, R&B, jazz -- especially the saxophone, show tunes .... I've been performing solos since I was 4 - so anything I can sing to and enjoy the words. And no, music is such a powerful thing .... I love it .... and I think I'd be hard-pressed to think of a way it isn't connected into most of my memories and the events in my life. j

OMG!.......My mom is rolling over in her grave now! I played The Loving Spoonful so much she wanted to puke. "Do You Believe In Magic".......OK mom....Okkkkkkkkkk!!....I AM turning it off! Damn her.....LOL! Then there was my Janis Joplin era........cause my brother said...."Hey, Do you think you could sing this while I played it?"

*Busted flat in Baton Rouge.....waiting fer a train
And I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just afore it rained
He drove us all the way to New Orleans*

Oh the memories!!!!! TY Steve.........memory lane is always sweet!
