It was December 8th 1980. I was in Jr high school. 7th grade I think. My mother was crying when I got home. John Lennon was one of her favorites & growing up I've been accustomed to hearing the Beatles & John Lennon frequently. Particularly when visiting with my uncle who was an avid record collector, he had thousands of records from the 50s all the way to the present. I learned my appreciation for classic rock from him
