I grew up listening to Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong and Lester Young, mostly. We had a big Stromberg-Carlson player and I remember the needles for the 78 rpm came in little brown envelopes,six to a pack, I think. When Les Paul & Mary Ford came out with How High the Moon, I wore out the record in about a week, my father bought another, and another. I didn't realize then, but I believe now that my deep love of music comes from this period.
