Probably in 1967 I went to my
In 1967 -68 I went to my cousin's wedding in Ann Arbor and I was 7-8 years old. All my Michigan cousins were older and most of them were hippies. My Uncle Hinney was probably in his 50's, long hair, who rode a motorcycle and he used to spend time at a commune even though he was married to my aunt. Uncle Hinney was a trip, and taught me how to tie dye shirts and he also gave me a chain with Peace Bells on it to wear around my neck, which I still cherish, and they are hanging in my garage to this day. His daughter Jerry married a musician named Terry and one of my most vivid memories from that time was at their wedding, on the dance floor, dancing to Light My Fire by The Doors, with them and all of their hippie friends. The band must of played that song 10 times that night it was a fucking blast. Iconic moment in my life and Light My Fire was the soundtrack.

Sherry wasn't one for me but the other 2 were. I wish I remembered - so much good music in the '50s, '60s.

Yes Judit. I am a proud member of that tribe. Yes there certainly was. And most of it stands the test of time. For me, I guess it started with Folk and progressed from there to ultimately the Grateful Dead. A lot of the folk stuff I gravitated to was from my summer camp experiences. The Four Seasons were the first group I was into. Then came the Beatles and the British Invasion and again ultimately Jerry and the gang. I was fortunate to have gone on a 40 day and night cross country trip in the summer of 1968. It was my coming of age summer. Got to see the Doors in Vancouver. Then down the coast to Frisco and the rest is history. How fortunate were we?

Things don't become iconic
Things don't become iconic until after the fact. At ages 5-10 I doubt if I knew what the word meant.
My first musical experience that I remember, other than hearing my parents classical collection, was when I got a 45 rpm record of "Davey Crockett - king of the Wild Frontier". This was at age 5 in 1956.
I started listening to "real" music at age 10 on the little transistor radio my grandpa bought me, after being introduced to such by our African-American teenage baby sitter.
At that time I liked everything I heard. Luckily I could listen to Arnie Ginsburg's Night Train show on WMEX Boston after the parents went to bed with my single ear bud. He would play music from all genres - R+R, Tex-Mex, blues. country, R+B, folk, novelty songs.
It was pretty cool hearing all this new-to-me music, all in the same place.
