At home in the Hastings Ranch community of Pasadena CA, flanked by my big brothers in 1965. I was born in '59, raised in Pasadena CA, too young to buy the records I loved best when they first came out. However, the radio was always on in my house and I soaked up what I feel was the best period in pop music history through my most impressionable years. Sadly, this magical period didn't last nearly long enough.
