    Earliest Musical memories, post em up

    Of course we all know Mozart but as a kid I recall the radio and later tv live music dancing to LPs which were huge lumps of vinyl with nice covers .
    I grew up in a transition from crooners big bands to rock , blues and always jazz

    ...I think I was 3-4 when I was given the vinyl 45 for this Disney number...otherwise, I would have been listening to my parents' music: Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and others popular in the 50s...
