In early '64, the Beatles ended (for the moment) my love affair with Chopin and classical music -- and my piano lessons. I jumped into rock, ran the record hops at my (Catholic) high school, and got into college radio.

After being immersed in rock professionally in Seattle radio in the Seventies, I OD'd and ran back to classical, immersed myself in chamber music, and that's where I stayed.

I didn’t abandon Classical altogether during those years. Regular visits to Symphony Hall with my Daddy made sure of THAT!

I would go to a Frank Zappa concert at the Boston Tea Party (a Psychadelic Nightclub...I was underage, of course) and Saturday Morning hear Leonard Bernstein conduct the “Young People’s Concerts” at Symphony Hall.

I still love Rock,
Classical,
and The Tea Party! LOL!
