When I was 9 years old at a Saturday Morning movie matinee for kids. Remember those?

They had what we would call nowadays an open mike.
My buddy & I got up on stage and sang "Old Dun Cow".

That experience lasted me until I was 13, when, at our local community's Coronation Celebration I sang "Bobbing up and Down", again with the security of a friend. We got out of sync with our bobbing up and down much to the delight of the audience.
