Growing up I listen to every record collection dad had from (50's, 60's, 70's Classic, Motown, R&B and Jazz Groups.
My dad's weekend hobby was to sit and listen to his records and I would look through them.
I watched Soul Train, Jackson 5, Sonny and Cher, Dick Clark, Son Ford & Son, Good Times, Lavern and Shirly and Happy Days, this was the good old days! I loved to watch Soul Train, this was one of my favorite shows because of the dancers and guest artist.
I was different then most kids growing up I would rather site home play my guitar and keyboards, write songs listen to music rather then go out and play outside with friends and hangout.
