We’re still sorting through mom’s pile of 45 rpm records. For the most part, I’m just randomly selecting songs as they come to mind. My research tools are The Eclectic Collection, <\/em>my media library, my memory, YouTube and the web in general. I’m sure this could have been planned out better. It could have had more production value, but I feel that there might be a little more free association opportunity by simply winging it like this.<\/p>\n

I also realize that a major piece of My Musical Evolution<\/em> is outside influences and so far there really haven’t been any apart from mom. More will appear. You have to remember that at this time, I’m still under 10 years old. I’m the oldest sibling and my friends at school aren’t really talking about music yet. That is about to change but for now I’m going to keep plugging away at the scratchy 45s. I feel it is important to try to represent as large of a sample as possible. Mom had so many records and as you might have noticed by the samples so far, they are all over the place. Well as all over the place as you can get while keeping to the rather flexible boundaries of popular music. Here’s another stack of 7.<\/p>\n

Probably one of the most under rated groups of the 60’s, The Association – Never My Love<\/em>
