My earliest memories go back
To when I was around four-years-old
One of the most dominate memories
Is of this Philco Stereo Record Player Console
That we had in our home
It had a record player and an AM/FM radio
To me, it was the greatest treasure we had
It was like my best Friend
Because through it came all the music I loved
I had it until I was 15-years-old
When lightning during a tornado fried it
Our house wasn't damaged
But my old Friend, Philco, was done for
There are many songs I remember playing
Over and over and over again
For the next week or so
I will be playing music from my childhood
That I played on this 1960's Philco stereo
I hope you will enjoy the journey back in time
Today's Track:
I about wore out the track of this song
It was my favorite as a four-year-old
It is also one of the reasons
I became a trumpet player later in life
