(8,572 posts)My husband and I met in karate class in 1994 ( we just celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary on Tuesday). We had just begun dating; we were standing in a waiting/ lounge area of this place, which was really just the instructors very large basement. There was a kid about 15/16 years old (we were in our later 20's and early thirties at that time) sitting by where we were standing, talking to a couple of his friends and in his best west coast imitation voice - for a kid in rural NC, lol - said "yea man, Kurt Cobain is the greatest guitarist out of Seattle ever!" and the future mr liberty and I just looked at each other; I may have lifted an eyebrow, and mr liberty said, "Really? You might want to check out this dude, Jimi Hendrix." Next class, the kid came in and made a point of finding mr liberty and thanking him for blowing his mind, lol. We were very happy to have expanded his horizons! One of the things that brought us together was our shared love of music, and so far its worked out pretty well!
