Thread Name: Your earliest childhood musical moment?
Subject: RE: Your earliest childhood musical moment?
Hearing my Grandmother singing as she went about her housework.

"Music while you work" on the radio. (For those in the US, Music while you work was a programme on the BBC which started during WWII and went on until well into the 50's - I can still hum the theme tune to this day)

Listening to my Grandparents' shanty records on their wind up gramophone. I always wanted those shanty records but my Grandmother got rid of them, together with everything else from her house after my Grandfather died. I know there were things my Mother wanted as well which she did not get.
