Grew up in NYC hearing Dad's mono system: Fisher receiver, Rek-o-Kut turntable, big kit-built Wharfedale corner horn speaker. He listened mostly to classical (records and WQXR), big band swing, and a variety of folk and non-mainstream pop music. I enjoyed it all, kinda took it for granted, but when he brought home the first Joan Baez album, that totally knocked my socks off. Didn't really like any "juvenile delinquent music" until the Beatles hit when I was 11. Then started listening to pop/soul stations on the little Zenith transistor radio he gave me, got into some of the teeny-bop music of the era, then later folk-rock, then later "psychedelic" rock, but never stopped enjoying the "square" music I had heard from infancy.
