Posted: 11/10/04 at 11:12pmHey all...Just wondering what everyone's first music memory is. Mine is Harry Nilsson's "The Point." I remember being 5 or 6 and sitting on the floor listening to my mom's old record of The Point and flipping through the LP's trippy little book o' pictures...Time to dig out my Point/Skidoo CD to listen to "Me and My Arrow!"

Posted: 11/10/04 at 11:16pmFree to be You and Me, lots of John Denver and Anne Murray, and a kids' spoof called Sesame Street Fever which featured Grover in the John Travolta white suit, with the same disco moves pictured inside the record jacket.

Posted: 11/10/04 at 11:41pmI remember this song called Charlie Brown. The verse went." Why is everybody always picking on me". I think it was in 1959 or 60.

Posted: 11/10/04 at 11:48pmI remember listening to "Brown Eyed Girl" as my mom danced around the room with me in her arms. She sang "Blue Eyed Girl" instead because I have blue eyes. I can't believe I remember that considering I couldn't have been older than 4 years old.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 12:00amThe book on tape for "Sleeping Beauty." I would always skip the part where the witch puts Aurora into a deep sleep, because it scared me.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 12:04amSinging along to U2's "Mysterious Ways" and Tom Petty's "Free Falling." I was like 3, and seriously misunderstood the lyrics, but I loved 'em.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 12:26am"Meet the Beatles" - 1964 - the first record I owned. In fact, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is the first song I remember coming out of the radio.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 1:00amMine is from preschool. We had an old record player in the room. I don't remember the name of the record, but it had, "Down By the Bay" on it and we would listen to it constantly and sing along. I was four at the time.

Posted: 11/11/04 at 9:49amthe first song i can remember clearly is "the needle and the damage done" from neil young's harvest album. yes, album. meaning vinyl. large black disk with lines on it and a hole in the middle. it sticks out because i used to sing it to my little sister when she wouldn't sleep. i was almost 4 then and she was not even one. she'd scream like a banshee until i'd stand by the crib, "i caught ya knockin' at my cellar door..." this is what happens when you have 5 older siblings.

My mom bought my sister and I each a 45. Her's was called "Sunshine" or something like that. (Early 70's. Lyrics went "Sunsine go away today, I don't feel much like dancing. Some man's gone and tried to run my life...") Mine was "I'd like to teach the world to sing". I can distinctly remember that (since I could'nt read at the time) my sisters label was green and my label was blue. That's how I knew the difference between the 2. I was about 4 or so.
Then I believe the first 45 I ever bought myself was Paul McCartney's "Silly love songs". I can remember going to "Two Guys" (anyone else remember this store?) and telling the guy who worked there that the words to the song go "I love you". Through some miracle we actually figured out the song.

"Blame It On The Bossa Nova" by Edyie Gorme. I used to play that song over and over until my cousin who was 6 months older than me stepped on it and cracked it. I really think my Mom put him up to it. 
The first album I remember getting "Meet The Beatles". I played that over and over too and hid it so no one could break it on me. I still have it...no jacket though.

"Doris Day's Greatest Hits"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I just bought this on cd. I'm awaiting it in the mail. Color close-up picure of her on the front? She's wearing a blue/white striped shirt? Yellow outlines around the edge of the album?

Posted: 11/11/04 at 10:30amMabel - how old are you? I remember seeing the movie version of The Point when I was in grade school in the '60s! I loved it. I didn't realize there was a recording of it available!

Posted: 11/11/04 at 10:41amI'm 20...I remember being traumatized as a little kid because I LOVED listening to my mom's old LP of The Point, and she bought me the video that Ringo narrated from an Avon catalog, and when it came, it was BROKEN!!! By the time we sent it back, they were out of stock. I guess they just released it on DVD...guess what I'm getting for Christmas?!?! Whenever I'm in a really bad mood, I just pop in the CD and it's all good times! I love the music...classic Nilsson!

Growing up I was surrounded by music (I was the youngest in a large family) So luckily I was exposed to everything opera, jazz, rock, folk, b-way, what we now call "easy listening", Bing, Nat "King" Cole... and the list just goes on & on. There are two that really come to mind Al Hirt's "New Orleans Jazz" and Nat "King" Cole's "Good Night Irene"
I feel old too Bobby!
