#1146: 35 years ago, Mike heard this classic album for the first time… (An Uncle Don Don story in under 2 minutes) [VIDEO]

My Uncle Don Don was the youngest of three kids.  He was quite a bit younger than his two older sisters, who liked The Beatles.  My uncle was from a younger generation, raised on Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Deep Purple.

I had more in common musically with my uncle than my mother.  So, when my uncle approached me early in the summer of 1989 to swap tapes to record, I knew he’d have something interesting to tape.  I grabbed a Maxell 90 minute cassette, and chose an album of his to record on one side.

Hear the album and the story in the 2 minute video below.
