FD INFLUENCES VOL. 1, ISSUE 3: Picking the burrs off of my socks (Mike)
At the beginning of 6th grade I had a pesky and insatiable urge to learn an instrument. No one in my house had displayed any musical talent, want, or interest at all, so this was a request that seemed to have come from far out in left field. I chose the saxophone for reasons unknown to me, as they were to the million other people who chose the same instrument during that time, judging from how many middle eights were jammed with that wailing wind or bleating blast.

So began a 1-page chapter in a very short affair between me and that gobble-pipe. Having mildly chased my sax dreams for the better part of a hectic and passionless 2 or 3 weeks, I gave up, predictably, neither understanding the instrument, nor why anyone would want to play it. At least I returned it brand new. My mother was not pleased, despite that spectacular display of consideration on my part.
However, I did find that listening to music with a more dedicated and passionate ear was something I liked to do, and I at once set about destroying my young credit history by signing up for a records and tapes club that I am probably still a member of. As such, I was exposed to many very bad musical things, and some pretty good things, too, upon which I built a musical foundation.

What really stuck for me, from then, a bit before, and the surrounding eras:
Georgie Fame – “Yeh Yeh” – Not the original, sure, but this was the one my grandfather listened to. He had typical musical taste for a guy born in the earliest part of the 1900’s (Ray Conniff, Bert Kaempfert) so his having this 45 was an outlier. It’s a weird British sketch of Latin Soul that...
