Topic a:”I wanna Hold Your Hand” – Beatles and Shawn Cassidy “Da Do Run Run” in Kindergarten were two that I listened to at school all the time. As I grew up, I remember listening to a lot of Neil Diamond, Simon & Garfunkel. “Evrybody’s Talking” was a great one. I remember my first Walkman cassette player I purchased and the “Footloose” soundtrack was the cassette I purchased with it. Crazy, I know. In middle school Prince’s ’1999′ was the album of choice. And Prince reigned after that. I could give you an important song or album for almost every period in my life, times I remembered and the song that related to that memory or moment in time. I once remember back in 2001 I was drug to a Sheryl Crow (not a huge fan, she was ok) concert. Well, the opening act was this guy named Joe Firstman. Oh my, he rocked the place and it was at Red Rock’s in Colorado (if you’ve never seen a concert there you are missing out). I checked every music store for almost 2 years until this guy’s album dropped and it was worth it. Awesome singer/songwriter.
b. I do remember when CD first came out and the price of them. It was costly, especially when you were in college. Not too many of my friends had a CD player or anything like that. So I built up my collection of CDs really quick when Columbia House came out. I made a deal with all the guys on my floor in the dorm that I would make them dubs or even cassette copies if they opened up a Columbia house under their name and allowed me to receive and place the orders of music. Well, with over 30 guys on our dorm floor, I racked up a ton of CDs quickly, so I didn’t pay too much attention to the prices after it was all said and done.
