Sitting under the piano with my back against the box beside my grandmother's feet as she worked the pedals, looking up at the palms of her hands playing the keys. I can clearly remember that I was wearing a diaper -- so really, really young!

A little older, not much, standing beside the piano to sing "What have you got for dinner, Mrs Bond?" -- and it was definitely geese in the larder, and ducks in the pond. Also, "The animals went in two by two, the elephant and the kangaroo" and "Voulez-vous planter des choux, a la mode de chez nous". As I got older, the songs got more ambitious, until we were hacking through "Cario mio ben" and bits of "Messiah".
