Dear Tireguy:
Boy do I ever! I've loved music for as long as I can remember. My mom used to buy me 45's of songs I'd fallen in love with on the radio when I was a kid and had NO money. (This followed a long string of making my own tapes from the radio. Story available elsewhere in these pages.) The Night Chicago Died by Paper Lace was one of the first. With my first paper route came money to buy the 45's myself. Hooked on a Feelin' and The Streak were amongst the first then. Then it happened, I saved enough to buy a whole LP! My first was EJ's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy followed shortly thereafter by Yes' Fragile and the Who's Tommy. These records hold a special place in my heart to this day. If you've fallen in love with this hobby get yourself a turntable and a few records. You can thank me later.
