Music is where the memories are, isn't it? I grew up playing with my parent's Wurlitzer. I don't think they were happy when I began exchanging their "50's music" -45's with some of my late 70's & 80's picks! I still laugh when I visit their home and see my "Straight On/Heart" record listed next to Mom's "Wooly Bully". Pretty cool.
I guess that my interest in music now, is just about the same thing. -All mixed up! I still have my vinyl collection in a box, too. Though I can remember listening to 'The Bossanova' on 78, I recently had the opportunity to show my kids what an 8-track looks like! <giggle> I'm dating myself, a bit, but mainly I guess I would have to say that I'm a child of the 80's. I absolutely love the music I grew up with. I mostly listen to Rock, Jazz, Blues, ..I guess most anything but pop stuff, country & bluegrass (a bit too twangy, I guess).
In fact, a couple of years ago, my husband purchased a DJ system for me with the very best sound system. We decided to have a 'flashback to the 80's' party and I was "DJ-D" for the night! All the lights, dancefloor, everything. Our friends are still talking about it and making 'requests' for the next one! You wouldn't have believed the outfits they wore!! Some even had the very same clothes they wore in High School. It was a trip, fer sher! <G>
..With that in mind I guess you could say that 80's music is where my memories are, but there are too many songs/bands to list!
How many of you are 'children of the 80's'??? ~DJD"D", Deborah in Southern California
