I've had a bad few days and have taken so much from the kind words of ladies on here.
I have realised the importance of sometimes talking about other things alongside our shared experience of menopause.
I have also dipped in today on some lighter hearted threads far more than I have done previously and have enjoyed it so much.
So with that in mind I thought I'd start my own lighthearted thread. I am Genuinely interested to know your answers.i love talking about music.
I searched and couldn't see it's been done before so the question is....
what was the first record you bought?
-
Barbara Ann, by the Beach Boys, I was 10.
-
Mine was Ice in the Sun by Status Quo in 1968. ;D

Probably something like David Cassidy, or David Soul....remember them?
I loved them sooo much...😀
Could have been the Osmunds too....they were my pocket money buys....😂🤣
Then came The Bay City Rollers....I even had trousers the same as there's, tartan down the side....😂
Then punk rock came along and I got side tracked, thought I was a right punk rocker..😂🤣
I always wanted a Mohican hairstyle, don't think my dad would have been too pleased with that one.😫

My first LP was the first Led Zeppelin. I saved up my Woolworths Saturday job money and when I got it home I played it to my mum and she was convinced I'd bought a warped copy ;D

Some great tunes.what a playlist this would make on spotify
I too loved David Cassidy and the bay city rollers but the first record I bought was dont go breaking my heart by Elton and kiki
I was 11. And after that i bought a single a week with my pocket money so by the time I was 16 I had quite a collection. Then i got a job so i could buy albums!!!
-
I'll be there, Four Tops 1966 was my first then all Motown, Supremes, Temptations, Marvin Gaye. Still got all of them.
-
I didn't actually buy the first record I got, I won it in a disco ;D Rod Stewart Maggie May, I still like it. The first LP I remember buying in Woolworth was ELO's Out of the Blue, still love ELO. The posters on my wall were Slade, David Soul and David Bowie, I was never a Bay City Roller fan ::)

My gran sang a song to me, the only part I can remember is "she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes" I've no idea of any other line, only that one sung over and over again ::)
It's the same with nursery rhymes, does anyone still teach them to young children ?

I can't remember my first buy but it was probably an LP of a musical ............ South Pacific comes close, in 1967. Went to the Odeon in Bristol and cried all the way through (hormones) ::)
We used to go into the store, chose an EP, go into a booth and put it on to see whether we wanted to buy it.

They're not discouraged in my area but there are a lot of parents who have to be taught them as they didn't have them sung to them when young themselves.

The skipping rhymes I remember.
Teddy bear teddy bear climb the stairs
And. I like coffee I like tea I like (insert name ) in with me. And that person had to jump in the double ropes
Also ring a ring a roses. We didnt know it was about the plague.
At kids parties the parents made an arch and us kids went through and it was "oranges and lemons said the bells of st Clements...and the last line was "hear comes a chopper to chop off your head, chip chop the last man's dead" lovely!! That one had all the London churches. Names. I grew up in east London so it night have been just a local song .
I reckon ELO still sound great btw. Some great music memories ladiesx

Many years ago I gave my Aunt a book about skipping rhymes from across England as she was keen on games - with 5 sometimes 7 kids to keep occupied ::). I heard that Bangles song a couple of weeks ago ........
