What is the first song...

[Gregg]

that your parents played that you can remember you liked. And about how old were you?

I had some ideas but the time line does not seem to work out.

The first song that I remember liking was one that i heard on the radio called "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks. I was 7 years old when it was released in 1974. I listened to music before that but I didn't become a serious listener until around this time.

The first song I remember loving was "Sky High" by Jigsaw, probably around 1975.

Either Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary
or
Mr. Bojangles by... no fucking clue.

I think mine was Tom Dooley-Kingston Trio

Big fan of that as well. But I relate more to the Trini Lopez version as that was in my Mom's record collection.

Played on something like this.

Stone in Love by Journey riding to the beach in my mom's Chevy Nova when I was 8. Most vivid musical memory I have.

Cool Water, by Sons of the Pioneers. They would play the whole record by Sons of the Pioneers, but that's the song from that record that lodged in my brain.

I forgot about this! I remember Cool Water and Tumbling Tumble Weeds (along with Happy Trails). I knew them from Roy Rogers and The Sons of the Pioneers. I have a faint recollection of 45 size yellow records.

I got to see Roy and Dale in 1958 (I was 5) at the Milwaukee County Fair. Heard these 3 songs. Dad held me up to touch Roy as he rode Trigger along the fence gently slapping hands. Missed his by about 4 inches.

The first songs I remember from childhood are Gowan "Hungry Like The Wolf", Talking Heads "Road to Nowhere", and G'n'R "Paradise City". Also loved Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55".

Great story!

And yes, Tumbling Tumbleweeds was another good one from that record.
