re: What was your first favorite song as a child?

Prolly Jesus Love Me, but this is the first 45, my cousin's, that I remember playing over and over.

Something from The Jungle Book. I wore that tape out on road trips. Feel bad for my parents.

I loved Loved LOVED “Thank God I’m A Country Boy” when we learned it in second grade (1979-80) music class.

For me? I was obsessed with Sly and the Family Stone as a kid! I play this to this day:

I’m 53

I feel like songs like band on the run
Let ‘em in
Sir duke
The candy man
We’re all playing on the radio

Throw in steely Dan stuff

I was at the mercy to whatever my mom played in the car…

Which in hindsight was the best of times
