What influenced you into the world of music?

 
For me, there were two main things.

My Dad was a jazz pianist in the 30's - 40's.  My earliest memories place me sitting on the piano bench next to him as he played and practiced.

Then there was the constant presence of music in the house.  Usually, at the time, WNEW-AM in NYC.


But there was always music in the house.

And, I still have to say, there currently is always music in my house.  Though not WNEW-AM anymore, but 1071ThePeak. (can I post a link?  OK, I'll try ....https://www.1071thepeak.com/

 
Yeah, when I don't have JRMediaCenter providing tunes for me (many hours, oh so many hours), that radio station is my choice.

I played piano, trumpet, French horn, and clarinet.

I played in the Jazz band, marching band (we had to memorize the music), concert band.

When I first got into music, popular bands were Tommy James & The Shondells, The Doors, The Beatles.

I watched JFK get shot on TV and killed, later I bought all the local feeds, CBS, ABC, and NBC, that's when I noticed there was a world out there and it was not safe for anyone.

my mom always had the radio on.
