One of my fondest memories, was opening up/getting the goodies out of the santa hung stockings.
For what ever reason, my mom got me a 8 track of Changes. I was pretty young, and I'm sure she didn't have a clue what she bought, lol.
Likewise, she joined Columbia House, and didn't send back an 8 track. It sat for months, finally, one day, bored out of my mind I decided to give it a listen.
It turned out to be Aerosmith's first album. DAMN, if it didn't have an impact on me.
WoW!!!!!
