Writer's Block: Your First Record

Probably a Raffi or Chipmunks album. Possibly something by Mr. Dressup. I know I had a Smurfs tape I'd listen to during long car rides. My uncle made me a copy of Bill Cosby: Himself that I listend to with a frequency that could possibly be described as "incessant".

The first album of somewhat serious content I recall buying was Paul Simon's Graceland album (feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo) that I bought after they appeared on SNL in the '80s.

Still like it. Very enjoyable. Please don't shatter my illusions.

I eventually got a copy of Chronicles by Rush, which I've since re-bought in CD. And I think I've had 2112 in three different formats (tape, CD, Gold CD)*.

And when I was a toddler I liked to sit in a cardboard box full of stuffed animals on the livingroom floor, listening to Simon & Garfunkel through a pair of extremely large headphones.

That actually sounds a little like an Anne Geddes picture.

It wasn't quite as pristine. We had one of those green braided rag rugs, and some of the plushies were a bit raggedy by that time, and in pictures of me from that era I always look like I'm scheming something.
