You guys have some great memories - mom's singing; if we could all be so laid back today! Mine is "Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain" about 1968; but don't know the artist.

Actually Titled Rythym of the Rain by the Cascades.

Listen to the rythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that if you go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me not as that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please as the sun has set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that if you go and let me and cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter Patter Pitter Patter ohhhh

Crazy, but I remember laying in bed listening to that on a transistor radio. Wonder if Youtube has a posting of it?

Chances are, I could have researched the question of First Musical Memory by simply looking in my parent’s collection of classical LPs.... but seeing as I dumped them all (as mentioned in my post) last Thursday, I’ll have to rely on a very imperfect memory!
I’m not sure in which order, but these will be front runners:
1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky
Morning Mood and Hall of The Mountain King by Edvard Grieg
The Archers radio theme music (Chas will know that) – used to march up to stairs to bed when that came on
Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard
633 Squadron Film music (that and The Dambusters, eh Chas?)
HMS Pinafore by Gilbert and Sulivan
Wonderful Land by the Shadows
She loves You - Beatles
