Not sure how many of us here have a story to relate to in regards to just how much of an impact our older siblings may have had in the way we turned out, or how they may have influenced our musicals tastes to this day or not?
I recall, at the tender age of 5, my brother who is
11 years my senior, was spinning The Beatles and The Stones
at the time during the mid 60's.
For me, it made a difference. As I looked up to him not only as a brother, but a father figure to some degree, I sure as hell thought at the time, he knew his music...haha.
A few years later, he'd come home with stuff like "Little Green Bag" and again, I thought, the man was a genious!
Sadly, his interest in music died while I was in my teens and he no longer held the same interest in the impact that music could have on not only himself, but impessionable teens such as myself.
At this point, during the 70's, he was content in tuning into the Top 40 crap that spewed forth from the airwaves of the day.
I think he got old before his time and became jaded due to many other factors that impacted his life back then?
Haven't seen the man in over 11 years to date so I can't say what his feelings are regarding music, let alone even know where he is?
Curious to hear if any others out there had some help along the way from "big brother" or "big sister"?
Thanks

. It's wierd, because by the ealry 90's we had grown apart. We had both moved on to Classic Rock, but then something really strange happened: I got into Heavy Metal and he got into Rap. 
. I still haven't figured that one out.
