Music Memories (from days gone by)

What is your first memory of music?

When the family was out here for New Years Pop and I sat in my basement spinning some of his old records. It was really cool to look through the albums that kick-started my love for music, there were even some surprises (like a record with a song that Pop wrote --- unfortunately my turntable doesn't spin at 72RPM so I'll have to wait to hear that one). I recently put together a two-part-playlist on my iPod called "Momma Hates Motown and Papa Don't Sing No Country Song" highlighting the differences in Mom and Pop's tastes in music and how that has influenced my taste.

Sometime soon I hope to put together a diagram or tree or playlist of the music I have liked and how I have gotten to where I am today. I wonder what you all would say, it would be interesting to see each others tree since we all would have similar roots.

So for starters, here's one of the very first songs I ever remember listening to (as a real memory, not just a combination of recollection and family stories). Enjoy:

I would say that one of the TMIG songs would be my first memory of music. I don't even know what song it is, byt it was sweet!
