The Beatles. Up to that time I wasn't really exposed to much music except on Sunday nights when my parents watched the Lawrence Welk Show and I would think "Why are these young people smiling and dancing to such horrible music?". In the 4th grade my best friend asked me to listen to a record he bought, it was The Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand". I couldn't get enough of that song and would call him toasked him to play it for me.Little did I know, the four lads were at thecusp of their break up. I knew nothing of the Beatles but I wanted more. Still thinking they were the mop tops I then would hear songs like "Penny Lane" and "Hey Jude" and thought they changed overnight. From that point on I loved the pop and rock music and started to listen more bands. Then the tipping point to my absolute love to the genre was my first concert... KISS. The stage show was a sensory overload and I was hooked from then on.
