Music was played in my home as a child, my mom’s mom Virginia Fountain played gospel hymns on Sunday morning while Maxwell House coffee percolated in the coffee pot in the kitchen as she got ready to go to church to in sing in the choir. Yet, the night before, Saturday night, she sang the Blues and dance sensual moves to Soul Music ‘till the late evening while hosting a lavish cocktail and dinner party for friends and family. As a teenager, my mom collected as many 45rpm’s as I have 12’ vinyl singles today. As a kid slowly approaching my double digit years, I vividly remember my mom hearing a song on the radio or at a friend’s house. Then shortly thereafter her hearing that new song, my mom would say “get your coat we are going to the record shop”. We would leave the house swiftly, drive to the south side of the city and park the car. We would both jump out. I was trailing behind her while she held my hand, I felt the excitement of my mom’s energy flowing through my body as she anticipated acquiring that brand new record. We approached the main entrance of the shop. The announcement of a door bell would present are arrival only to be welcomed by a familiar face of the record shop owner or clerk, gracefully stating, “good to see you again Jackie, what are you looking for today”. Many things have changed in my life since those early days of the 1970’s but what has not changed is my passion and enthusiasm for music, rather it be music on a Reel to Reel player or a hot new track I just downloaded to be played using Serrato DJ and my Pioneer DJ controller. My connection is about the music.
