I'm sure I'm not alone in this...
But I can remember sitting as a small boy next to my mother, talking when something on the radio caught her ear. She just shushed me and sat.There.
After a time I realized she was engaged, she was listening.
In that self same moment radio stopped it's incessant bla bla bla.
and music entered by life for the first time.
Naturally it was my mother's music and unlike so many others i didn't mean a lot to me. I think I was to spaced out by a life, mine, that wasn't going to well.
When I was 12 and still spaced I became vaguely aware that my classmates were really excited by a song.
By a song!!??
I went home dug around in my closet for a radio I had had no previous interest in. Plugged it in. I didn't have to wait but 20 mins for "The song"
I listened, thought it Ok and turned off the radio. a half hour after that it occurred to me that there might be other songs of interest. So I turned it back on.
I think I was pretty slow or that music had a long way to go to reach me.
The song? Yeah it must of made some kind of impression as I remember that song.

Sorry, kinda off topic, but when did guitar straps go out of style?
I seem to remember a time when every guitar had a strap..
What happened? Did the put them in a pile and burn them,...
it was probably less dramatic than that.
I remember Segovia sitting upright on a stool and no strap, but everybody else had one.
Dog leases, I'll bet they all became dog leases.
I remember when dogs did not need or have leases and guitars did.
Am I better suited to music history or animal husbandry?
Oh well no rush plenty of time to decide.
I loved this song! But A voice kept shoving it's way into my mind..
