Music - what was your first purchase?

[OakLeaf]

Oh fun! But you're going to think I never buy any new music ...

The first album I ever bought was James Taylor's Mud Slide Slim.

The most recent thing I bought was actually filling in my collection with a digital version of an album I've had on vinyl since about 5-6 years after I bought the James Taylor - Martha Argerich performing Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the London SO under Claudio Abbado.

Before that, the last thing I bought was Jesse Winchester's Third Down and 110 to Go, because the song that's in my sig line got into my head.

Before that, some Christmas music ...

looking back - eek - it's possible I haven't bought any new music since this summer when we saw Chuck Prophet solo and bought a couple of his albums, ¡Let Freedom Ring! and Soap and Water.


ETA: well, that was a perfectly useless job of showing (1) how eclectic my musical tastes are, and (2) how much more I tend to prefer music written by women. I can't do it in fewer than 15 albums...
