Dauray, Jr., had owned Ampeg back in the 1960s. I still really love all that music.ĮM: In about 1980 I rediscovered a lot of stuff. I listened to hard rock, yacht rock, disco later in the ’70s, all that stuff.

I really just wanted to listen to Led Zeppelin or Paul McCartney or anything except for the 101 Strings. I didn’t want to listen to children’s records, and my parents, man, they had this whole-house intercom system in the early ‘70s and my mother would pipe through elevator music “beautiful music” is what they called it. I was so into rock music on the radio, from the earliest time. I was all over that when I was a very young kid. ĮM: How ironic! My parents had a Fisher 500C receiver and a Garrard turntable and Acoustic Research 2ax speakers, and it was a good little hi-fi system.
