Jonathan would be in the other room playing rock and roll, the Beatles - all at unforgivably loud levels. ![]() There was never any question that he was going down a creative path.Īl, what kind of music did you play in the house, that grew up to have so many styles? Al Larson: I'm thinking mostly of weekends, when I would be around the house, puttering or whatever, I would put on the Met opera sometimes, and at other points would put on show records. Now that's what kids do all the time, but back then it was very unusual. The teachers always let him get away with it because they found it so fanciful and whimsical and creative. He would make a film out of his book report or a play about his book report. Even back then, Jon would have none of that. I remember very clearly: In those days when we'd have to do book reports, you'd literally stand there and talk about your book with a piece of paper in front of you. Julie, where did you and Jonathan grow up? Did you always know he would do something wonderful? Julie Larson: We grew up in White Plains, New York, and we had quite a "Leave it to Beaver" childhood.
