I remember the first song I ever sang. My dad taught it to me. I never heard it anywhere else.

"Oh, I'd rather suck on a lemon drop
Than to try my luck with a lollipop.
I always drop my lollipop
And it gets all over ICKY!"

I think I mighta been 3 yrs old....funny how some things stuck with ya, ain't it?

Eighteen - Alice Cooper.
My first time ever singing with a live band. Consisting of my wife's best friend's hub in drums. The guy that taught Ian Anderson to play the flute on piano, and his son "spider" on guitar... the park police (ritzy private neighborhood) came and told us that the other homeowners were a little upset (we had a full PA in the back yard) and we had to turn it down. He said "sure"
They pulled out. He walked over and cranked it up much louder. We jammed on.
They came back... same thing happened... they gave up. We jammed on

The first song I sang and played in a band was "I Need To Know" by Tom Petty.

Ok silly I know trying to avoid shoveling more snow.

"Eighteen" was the 1st rock song I learned on the guitar, & the 1st rock song I ever played pn stage.

It's usually the 1st thing I teach beginners, too.

I was singing long before I can remember. But my first favorite radio song when I was five, standing up on the front bench seat of dad's 72 Country squire station wagon (With a 429!!) listening to AM radio was "isn't she lovely". I wrote my fist song at 5 also. I still remember all of it

If I was a sparkiling prince (pronounced sparkaling pri-hince)
I woulda kiss sno white
She would awake and kiss me
We woulda live in my palace
I woulda let her
visita her friends

I heard a completed piano part in my head
Intricate chords backing the melody then the same chords with the right hand playing the vocal melody after the vocals start.

My parents were hippies and I went to a co-op school where the teachers were parents donating their time . Looking back, it was pretty much a commune - an experimental school funded by the school system at the time - early 70's - like 71 - 76. During lunch hour, our teacher would bring her acoustic guitar and we would sit in a circle and sing folk songs. Don't know the names of the tunes, except maybe puff the magic dragon. I'll have to ask my parents - the first song I wrote was a little tune called Bucky the Dinosaur.

Bucky the dinosaur
fell in a ditch
rolled over backwards
while scratching an itch
tried his very hardest
to climub up the wall
but Bucky was too short
and the wall was too tall.


... etc.

Spirit In The Sky was the 1st song I learned on the guitar.

The first song I sang, I couldn't sing, because apparently I was still in a car seat. According to my parents, everytime Bad Bad Leroy Brown would come on the radio I would go berzerk i.e. kicking my feet and making noises. Can't say it's my favorite song today, but I still dig it.

Little Brown Jug.

Age 5, learned to play and sing it in about an hour, first time to pick up a guitar, first time to sing...boy it's been a mess ever since...I"ll never get that damn little guitar player outta my head...

Tush-ZZTop...
