Misguided First Love
I was in the 5th grade when the British Invasion began.  I bought my very first album at the Gem store, only to discover that I'd been ripped off.  I bought the Beetle Bugs not realizing it wasn't actually the Beatles.  What would you expect an 11 year old with not much money to do---of course I went the cheaper route.  I think I paid $2.00 for that album only to be disappointed.  I was finally able to get my first Beatles album---"Meet the Beatles" several months later.  I absolutely fell in love with the Beatles.   My most favorite song on that album was "Till there was you".  Little did I know that it was actually a showtune from the Music Man.  That very well could have been the start of my love of showtunes.  I didn't see the Music Man until sometime in the late 60's or early 70's at the Muny.  Does that mean I was actually in love with Robert Preston (star of Music Man)?   Eeewwww!
