When I was a child, on Sunday mornings the family would assemble around the blue-leather-covered gramophone to listen to records.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had this old wind-up phonograph when I was a kid, and I'd listen to records. And the radio.
My family was all musicians. We jam all the time.
I have been tied up with music for about as long as I can remember. By the time I was four I was picking out little tunes my mother played on the reed organ in the living-room.
The first devices to record and play back music were the phonograph and the gramophone. The gramophone's inventor: Alexander Graham Bell.
Nobody played instruments in my family. My father got that bug and said he wants his son to play saxophone.
Our parents were musicians.
My mother played piano so we always had music around the house.
I recalled how a lot of my older siblings would go to a friend's house and borrow records to play and sometimes borrow a turntable because we didn't have a turntable in the house until I was 8, about the same time we had a TV.
I grew up with classical music blasting in my parents' living room and my older brother's practicing saxophone in his room listening to jazz... a beautiful chaos.
My mum's family would all get together, with guitars, harmonica, mandolins and upright bass and play old blues and folk songs. That was normal to me.
