When I was a young girl, I always felt self-conscious by the music I loved. The teacher would let us bring in our records to school on Fridays to listen to, and while other kids brought in Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie, I would bashfully hide my Olivia Newton-John and Bread albums under my coat.
The first record I ever bought was The Partridge Family at K-Mart. I remember my dad drove me there so I can buy it with my Christmas money I received. Later, I went on to buy The Defranco Family, The Carpenters, Bobby Goldsboro and Eddie Rabbit. For two cents, I bought Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Pablo Cruise, Peter Frampton, Abba, Barry Manilow, Carly Simon, Carol King and Chicago on 8-track from the back of our TV Guide.
I always felt intimidated with my choice of music until I got out of high school and then it didn't seem to matter anymore.
Now I like all kinds of music.

Oh my gosh! we're connected! I had several David Cassidy albums, posters on my wall, and he was one of my first and greatest musical influences! I went to see him at a casino a couple of years ago,and he was awesome, how "metro" is that? I had the DeFranco Fam Lp, and met my first love over "If" on the bread greatest hits 8-track in High School. No classic rock for me, it was the devil's music in our house!
See ya,
Dave.
In a music appreciation class in school, we were told to bring records from home for several days, and we would listen and disect the music, etc. I still remember the hideous song I chose to impress the "cool" kids. ( I'm too ashamed to even say what it was).I'm sure Mr Self knew my motives. He was my high school band director,and a really neat guy. Oh...when I was about 13, I had David Cassidy posters all over my room....and I sing the loudest when I'm alone in my car with Carole King and Carly Simon...
