Wow that's a lot of music you were listening to in 1979

Haha - no. I had 14 of them, but not in 1979. I was 9 - my allowance didn’t quite cover that. I 💯 had VH II, Highway to Hell, & KISS though. That said, my parents had at least 6 of these.

YOUR PARENTS in the Bay Area?

South San Francisco, specifically yeah. Dad was a drummer in the Cal band & played in rock bands in college. Loved Fleetwood Mac, Petty, several of the others. Tons of rock, R&B, blues, jazz. Grateful for my pop’s taste in music. I used to love raiding his records as a kid.

Ah, a true musical inheritance.

Your dad had excellent taste—and you clearly inherited it!

Completely awesome "played in rock bands" = Free lifetime pass to my heart & soul 🎶
