Day Twenty-​​Nine – A Song From My Childhood:

I’m not sure why I always think of this song when­ever I reflect back on my child­hood. I could prob­a­bly bring up a ton of songs from my younger years, thanks in part to my par­ents’ own love of music. Or I could bring up some old sto­ry­book songs that my par­ents used to play on our record player.

Yes, oh younger ones, that’s what us older kids had for on-​​demand enter­tain­ment back in the day. No VCR’s back then, and TV pro­gram­ming that was dic­tated by the TV stations.

Which is prob­a­bly where I remem­ber see­ing “Yel­low Sub­ma­rine” for the first time.

But really, the rea­son this song has such a firm grasp in the recess of my mind is because of this mem­ory I have of singing this song with my par­ents in var­i­ous loca­tions. I remem­ber singing it at home on the morn­ings or after­noons when Mom would put some Bea­t­les on the record player. And I remem­ber singing this song in our old sta­tion wagon while my Dad played his 8-​​tracks on those road trips to Lon­don, Ontario (or even that famed trip down to Dis­ney­world in the late ‘70’s).

So now every time I hear this song, I remem­ber singing this song at the top of my 5-​​year old lungs and hav­ing such a blast with my parents.
