I'm interested in how y'all got first turned on to the music that you're still listening to years later! The music maybe Punk, Jazz, Rock & Roll, Country, R & B, hell even Rap - Hip Hop! I'm more interested in how you got 'turned on to' it!
Ok I was in High School it was like 1968 ok that would be considered Jr. High now, but to me I was out of Elementry School! There was a guy I looked up to, he was the epitome of cool! He had dropped out of school, smoked cigarettes, but most of all he had a car! Everybody called it "the Pig-Pen," hey don't ask! He-he! At 2:45 he'd come behind the school to see his girl/friend and drive her home! Some times she had to stay after school or he'd come back & give me a ride home! He also had an 8-track tape player and a box of tapes. One day OTW home he had The Rolling Stone's tape in, and they were doing, I believe, "I Just Wanna Make Love to You," I was listening to the words and smoking one of his cigarettes and said, "Damn, Jagger can sure write huh?" Well, 'Booty,' that was a fairly popular name in those days for a guy and no it didn't mean his asz! LOL said, "That wasn't Jagger that was McKinly Morganfeld!" Before either of us knew of Willie Dixon. Of course I said, "Huh?" He laughed and said "Muddy Waters" well that wasn't any help to this 14 yr old. Seeing my confussion he reached in the back, pulled out a Muddy Waters LP and gave it to me! I took that home & litterally wore grooves in the vinyl! I can't remember what LP it was but it had "Hoochie Coochie Man, Got My Mojo Working" and "Rollin' Stone" on it! That was my turn on to the Blues!
