It was NOT love at first sight for me. More like revulsion. I roomed with a sister two and a half years older than me - to this day she says it just like that two and a HALF. Anyway, as a young child I was tortured on a daily basis with John Denver, and to a lesser extent the album "Summer Side of Life". She later went on to torture me with Barry Manilow, to give you some idea how brutal my childhood was. I'm guessing I was somewhere between ten and twelve when the torture sessions began. It took me almost twenty years before I recovered from the pain. I heard a cut off of "East of Midnight" in 86, amazingly enough on the radio. I'm guessing it was an AC station in L.A. I slowly came around and have been a fan ever since. And I somehow wound up with custody of my sister's copy of "Summer Side of Life". I will never be a John Denver fan, and Barry Manilow makes me wanna puke to this day.
