Strange for an audio enthusiast
It's a little strange that I had absolutely no interest in music during high school or most university. I guess because nobody in my family was interested at all.
This is a true story: while riding the bus home from classes I over heard a Jewish lady bragging about her son, the doctor, to another Jewish lady. One of her bragging points was that he had spontaneously development an interest in classical music despite there never being any interest among family members. Some how that stuck with me; I figured if the good doctor could handle classical music, I could too.
A few months after I graduated I bought a Sony cassette player. As I recall, my first music purchase, or one of the first, was a pre-recorded cassette of Wendy (then still Walter) Carlos' Switched On Bach.
