Do you remember the first time you really clicked with music? I remember being on a family vacation at 9 or 10, getting some sort of random Beatles “Hits” cassette tape at whatever gas station, and playing it nonstop in my off-brand Walkman. That was the first time I really felt music in my bones, and to this day few things are as exciting as finding a new song to love.

    I was probably like 12 and I heard Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Jimi Hendrix and his guitar and that song struck me to my core. Total chills across my body and a tingly sensation in my ears.

    I was never into music before hearing that song. Jimi Hendrix is a god as far as I’m concerned he got me into music.

      That is an amazing song. My favorite Jimi song is Bold as Love. Such a good vibe. (And it’s the perfect album closer). I love when music gives me chills, it doesn’t seem to happen nearly as much as it used to, though. I wonder if that’s a part of getting older. I still love finding a new song or artist to love of course, but when it really hits you on a visceral level it’s a whole 'nother level.
