The Empire Strikes Back was my first 'grown up' record, replacing (doesn't it all come back again) my Strawberry Shortcake album. {grin} That’s wild – is that the one with C3PO and R2D2 making noises during a song in the bar?

Saw him on ye olde kinescope. I was mesmerized. I demanded my mother get it for me. She wouldn't, so I asked her brother. Thank you, Uncle Mike! Little Richard. Saw him on ye olde kinescope.

I recall driving down to a record shop in London, Ontario, and listening to the album in these little listening booths. Musically, that album still stands up. My first single was "Heartbreak Hotel", by Elvis, on a 78 rpm. It was in the mid-1950s, during the transition from 78 rpm to 45 rpm for singles.

I forget the sequence, but Witchy Woman and Monster Mash were probably near the top of the list. That was around the time I started building speakers.

I must've been around 10 years of age at the time. My first album was a collection of John Phillip Sousa marches, and NO, it was NOT presented to me by the man himself.
