I started late. I was 14 when I bought my first album, one which rather challenged me. The album I bought was an Elektra blues sampler called "What's Shakin'", featuring a couple of prehistoric cuts from the Lovin' Spoonful and songs from Al Kooper, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and a short-lived group called "Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse", among many others. I remember that there were 14 songs on that disjointed collection, and that it was really a little too much for me at that time. But within a couple of years, I grew to like it a lot; by that time I had about 200 other albums to keep it company.

My FIRST albums were the Monkees albums, but I really don't count those because they were an extention of the TV program. My dad was in the Marine Corps so my parents always did their shopping at the Post Exchange (PX). When I was in the 7th grade we were passing around "slam books" asking our friends (and if we were brave enough to ask, our crushes) to fill in their preferences, etc. One guy I really liked said his favourite album was Led Zeppelin II, so I sent my mom to buy it for me.

The first *album* I ever owned was probably With the Beatles. However my first *record* preceded that by quite a few years. I'm not sure which record would be my own first record (I lay claim to my Mum's records too, you understand). It might have been one of those little red or yellow 78rpm kiddie records, or it might have been Livin' Doll by Cliff Richard. (In those days LPs were rare things in our circles.

In those days, when I was about 12, I had my 15 minutes of fame. I wrote a song (er, it was called, (blush) "You Make that Girlie Blue"...) A schoolmate brought a tape recorder to school (unusual things in those days) and we tried to sing it onto the tape in the playground. I don't remember how, but somehow the teacher got wind of it and tried to have me sing it for the class (eek!!!) We had BIG classes, and being a lower-class sort of place, none too gentle.

This seems like a good time to jump into the conversation... The first actual 33rpm album I owned was a 10th birthday present (1973), along with a little stereo to play it on. It was the soundtrack to the movie version of "Jesus Christ Superstar". The first one I ever bought for myself was Elton John's "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy". I literally played the grooves off of it in no time at all. I could lose myself in it for hours at a time. Recently I got it on CD and couldn't believe how great it still sounds.

First for me were the blue and red Beatles collections. That started me on a long four years of collecting every Beatle and solo Beatle album and single in print.

I just must say thanks to all of you who have shared your thoughts and support and advice on the recent thread. And especially to those of you who have lightened it up with your humor and goodwill. Thanks--scarey though it may seem at times, you're a great place to be. And I must also say that I am truly sorry for not being more diplomatic or waiting a bit to discuss my loud opinions. When I sent my original post I was afraid of being flamed (rightfully so, though I feel as though I escaped mostly unscathed). What I did not consider is that I was flaming the post prior. Please excuse my inconsiderateness. It was a hasty reply that was really directed at months of wondering why this comes up, and not meant to be so directly aimed at the most recent post on the topic. Andrew, I do want you to know that I think that posting my opinion in direct response to your post was an error on my part and that I did not intend to flame you. (I think I also see you and Graham as being flame retardant; you both seem so willing to speak honestly about anything.) And finally, I want to say that from what I have heard/read in the past two days, I was really wrong about the innocence of some jokes posted to the list. I understand that far more folks than I realized (okay, so I'm hasty AND naive) are intending that their comments will imply a physical and/or sexual attraction to Bruce. I thought the other readers were projecting their own stuff, and I guess I did not see that this was a mutual relaying of jokes about this topic. And since I prefer that my appreciation for Bruce not be misinterpretted as sexual in nature, I'll refrain from comments that address looks, personality, etc. as much as possible. And for those who enjoy being on the Humans lust, have fun! :-) Catch you in the eddy. And thanks--really! Joan - -- "Why can't some people take a joke?
