I was about 6 when my dad got a new stereo and gave me his old record player,
Sesame Street was my favorite album. I had a few Kenny Rogers 45's too, I wasn't the most discerning kid as far as music taste.
A few years later I remember we sold the farm and our livestock, and moved into town. I used some of my money to buy a little boombox so I could listen to the radio and record songs to tape, so I still wasn't buying music yet.
In high school walkman/sony were finally making affordable CD players, and I was in love with Natalie Merchant at the time so I would buy all the 10,000 maniacs albums.
When my dad passed away (I was 19 or 20), I reinherited his stereo and his LP collection, which we had both been increasing from yard sales and thrifstores, so there were a few in there that I really like (but I wont play them to keep them from getting worse), like Boston, Iron Butterfly... and odly the Culture Club. My dad was a huge fan and had all their 80's albums.
