I have almost 10 on you - but in addition there were a number of kids in my neighborhood that I hung around a bit that were 4-6 years older than me … they exposed me to a lot of music … one played guitar - my next door neighbor was a drummer …
they were heavy into muscle cars and dirt bikes etc - I was just getting into mini bikes etc and they were my go-to’s - mentors and ‘wrenches’ … probably reluctantly at times lol
