Top Five Albums Older Than You
Monday, May 17th, 2010This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever written. I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. But, I’d never thought about why I like the things I do and how it all started. Turns out, my parents had a profound effect on my musical inclinations. They instilled in me an appreciation […]
