Going Home.  It was a home-made compilation on tape that my son's friend had put together.  On the tape was "Going Home", "The Wild Theme", R&J and "Sultans".  It was "Going Home" I heard first, though! The year was 1983.

I honestly don't know!!  Does that make me less of a fan?

In 1982, a friend of school invite me at his home for listennig music : he put an old LP on the phonogram. "Listen this new stuff" he said to me. That was the first notes of Tunnel of Love played by Roy Bittan. I will never forget that moment, because Mark's music will never leave me after that...

Sultans of Swing, in my car, on the way to work in 1978. And it was as exciting as hearing Elvis, Chuck Berry, and the Beatles for the first time. What a pleasure it has been to listen to MK throughout the years. He just keeps getting better!

Two young lovers, from Alchemy. but the one that got me hooked was Your latest trick, the 3rd one I heard, after walk of life. (we were really into sax at that time)  Then I can't remember the next one, honest!

Private Investigations back in 1982 on the local commercial radio station, Downtown Radio. I heard all these eerie noises and sound effects and thought "What is that?" I thought it was so atmospheric and so different to anything else on the radio at the time. Love Over Gold is the first album I ever bought.It was a cassete tape because I didn't have a turntable in those days.

Sultans when it first came out. Was in the car with my husband driving north on Van Winkle Expressway in Salt Lake City when it came on the radio, and I just sat there with my mouth open, blown away by it. It was good my husband was driving. I would have run off the road.

hi gus!

Hi Gus
Welcome to AMIT

Sultans of swing - On our first ever local FM band radio broadcast in 1980 - It was the first song they ever played. Reasons given at the time was that it (the song) was representative of what the NEW FM band station wanted to be known for. Cutting edge and Innovative music and cool DJ's!! SAFM spent the next 3 decades as the top rated radio station in town. Wasn't until 2005 that they dropped below at least 2nd for the first time. Still 3rd today.

Once Upon a Time in the West.   In 79, a friend loaned me the vinyl, and said, "This guy is really intelligent with his lyrics. . . " she said other good things too.  So I put the record on the turntable, and Once upon a Time was the first track.    The song still blows me away.
