The first time I listened to stereophonic sound was in Gilman, Iowa at the home of my junior high girl-friend, Denise Walker. Yes, we took a lot of kidding about Dennis and Denise.
Her dad had just bought a new "stereo" set-up and had it arranged in their living room with the two speakers, one on each side of their fire-place.
With the stereo came a novelty record, "vinyl," to help demonstrate the stereo sound. It was incredible listening to the sound of a bowling ball starting to roll down the lane on one side of the fireplace, then rolling though it and hitting the pins on the other side. WOW! The same with an airplane taking off or an automobile shifting gears and roaring through the living room.
The sound of music, movies, and T.V. would change forever.
