Music has always played a significant role in my life, starting from my earliest memories of classical music resonating through our home. My father possessed a collection of 78s and an electric player that required frequent needle changes. I vividly recall watching him diligently replace the needle every eight plays, a task he would never allow anyone else to handle.

I am grateful for the musical exposure our parents provided us, although my father displayed a single-mindedness when my brother Kenneth brought home a recording of the new rock and roll sensation, Buddy Holly, in the late 1950s. Father seemed to think it was inappropriate music and believed that the record couldn’t possibly match the caliber of his beloved Beethoven or Mozart recordings.
He would engage in ongoing discussions with Kenneth about playing those records on his radiogram. As for my desire to play Beatles and Rolling Stones records a few years later, there was no comment to be had!

The foal, needing an approximation, found a stick and measured himself against it. Then he used the same stick to compare himself with his interlocutors.

There is a long history of films transitioning to the small screen in the form of TV shows. Some achieved great success and longevity, while many others turned out to be disasters.
