A diversion from politics...."firsts"

[Replies: 35]
Just putting out a new thread for anyone who wants to get away from talk of politics for a few moments.

Do you remember your "first"...

Album - "Nilsson Schmilsson"

45 - "Family Affair" (Sly and The Family Stone) (Note: If you have to ask "what's a 45?", you cannot play)

Car - '86 Ford Mustang (yep..1986...didn't start driving until I was 36 years old)

That was a great song. I plan on having them play that at my funeral.

PolarGirl,

Thanks for the compliment and for playing.:-D

I remember "Cinnamon" by Derek. Long time since I heard that one!

Here's another "first" to ponder...

Concert - Geroge Harrison Dark Horse Tour circa 1974. Chicago Stadium. Two sets with Ravi Shankar in between.

Terry Jacks.

I'm ashamed to admit I know that.

I had that 45, too.

Hmmmm...let's see.

The first album I remember buying is Elvis' Greatest Hits when I was 5, lol. Used to watch the movies with my great aunt and loved him. My older colusin was into the Beatles, and Beatles albums are the next ones I remember. Even though I wasn't born until 1968, I was pretty much all Elvis and the Beatles 'til at least 4th or 5th grade.

First one not Elvis or the Beatles I remember buying was Pink Floyd's The Wall in '79. I was 11, and bought it with my paper route money...first one I can recall buying with my own cash!

First single? Yikes, I think it was Shaun Cassidy's "Da Doo Run Run." :^O No, maybe Seasons in the Sun by somebody Jacks?

First car was a 1985 Pontiac Fiero.
