Earliest Musical Memory - Tiggi - 10-09-2011
How far back can you go with musical memories ??
I can remember Beatles songs on the radio from when I was tiny, but the first song I can ever recall getting a real kick from would have been The New Christy Minstrels western song Three Wheels on my Wagon.
Would have been about four years old when that made its' impression. I was fascinated by the gradual reduction in wagon wheels ?!
Please share...

I remember from the time I was about 6 years old spending my $2 allowance on a new record single every week at the Record Bar. I had just enough money to buy one and I ended up with so many singles. My first was Ratt's Round And Round. I wish I still had them. I gave them all away when I was 11 because I had cassettes now! Ooops! Music was always just there, MTV was new, my older brother is truly a music head, my Dad gave me a love of the 50's rock 'n roll. I used to wake up to it every Sunday morning. Oddly I think my love of 50's rock led to my love of the Ramones and all their Beach boys covers etc. I had a real hippie music teacher in elementary school that had us singing 'Blowing in the Wind' and 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' etc. It's hard to pin down a moment when I fell in love with music , it's like I was always seeking it out and taking it in.

I also remember "Marianne down by the seashore sifting sand " by Harry Belafonte, Ringo (before the Beatles) by Lorne Green (Bonanza fame), and of course Patti Page's How Much is That Doggy in the Window and Que Sera Sera by Doris Day !!!...lol
And you wonder why The Beatles became so popular !!!!!...lol

Mrs Tiggi's just told me hers are:
- There's a Hole in my Bucket
&
- Yellow Bird, up in The Banana Tree
both of which her Dad used to sing to her as a child.

When I was 6, I began my first music lessons... on the clarinet, the first instrument I learned to play. It was about that time I saw Ronnie (Dio) and The Prohpets quite a bit as a little kid because they were family friends. When I was a little older I hung out with Keith Gruber (guitar), and saw quite a bit of his older brother Craig when he hooked up with Ronnie and Mickey Lee during The Electric Elves transition to Elf. I remember seeing them at the Cortland County Fairgrounds, about a block from my house, and them watching us play sandlot baseball behind Gruber's parents house.
