1975 and five years old. Sitting in the back seat of the big green Plymouth Fury. My Dad sets the radio and I am introduced to some of the earliest sounds. At this stage it's just music. I don't even know if I like it. Something about Delta Dawn and Flowers On The Wall. It all blurs this many years later, but I can still remember hearing Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot. My Dad loved the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald as well, but Sundown was the song that still sends me right back to that back seat, where all I can see is the back of Mom and Dad's heads just over the top of the bucket seat. When I didn't have to sit on the hump, I could lean my ear close enough to the little speaker in the back and hear this tune...It may not really be the first, but we'll just say it is for the sake of argument.
