In summary: I don't remember the color, but it was a light blue light and there was a large bubble in the middle of the light. It felt really good. And then I woke up.In summary, Evo was born when "Come Softly to Me" by the Sevilles was #1, but that's just because she claims all kinds of 1960's experiences. She was already seasoned by the time she entered kindergarten, but had no way to be certain this all was around age 3, but she had always said 3.

Mine was,

Yeah, it had a link to listen to it online. Nothing impressive... <sigh>

Winchester Cathedral was a really fun tune, and rather catchy at the time. The only one so far that I don't know, was Dangers. I had to listen to it, sounds like dance music that my folks use to listen to.

They didn't have music when I was born. Unless you consider banging wooden branches on rocks and making gutteral sounds music. :frown:

OK, now you'er exaggerating! There were no such things as "wooden" branches when you were born. Only modified grasses. Not much of a percussion section. Foop, foop!

I'm thinking you are about my age. Is your song "Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow" by Dan Quinn? o:)

I'm guessing that Evo was born when "Come Softly to Me" by the Sevilles was #1, but that's just because she claims all kinds of 1960's experiences. I suspect that she was jail-bait in the '60's, and "Runaway" by Del Shannon was her #1.

I wasn't jail bait in the 60's I was in Kindergarten. :grumpy: I was 11-12 when I started going to concerts by Hendrix, The Doors, etc... My big brother was forced to accompany me.

You're older than I am, btw. :biggrin:

I know I'm older than you. I'm 57. Point is, if you attended Hendrix concerts as a child, you couldn't have been born any later than 1959 at the earliest. That makes you (gasp!) 50 in a month and 15 days.

Math education left a little to be desired back then. That must have been the month a lot of crack pots were born.

Holy moly, I just found out that several songs that I listened to on the radio when they came out and can still sing to this day was from when I was 3. But I was also reading about Egyptians and had an interest in astronomy when I was 3, that is when I told my mother I wanted to be an archaeologist and astronomer. This validates that my memories are correct time wise. I was already seasoned by the time I entered kindergarten, but I had no way to be certain this all was around age 3, but I had always said 3. Yeah, I know, this only means something to me.

Hey I was into paleontology and astronomy. But from some time later than 3 because I could read about it. So I must have been at least ... 4, ... if not 7 then.

Oddly I have a very vivid memory of being bathed in a sink at about a year + a couple of months at a summer cottage in Wimberley, TX that only basically had screen walls, a roof on a cement slab, where we on occasion spent some time. (I can still see it in my mind's eye and smell the fir trees along the river.) It's as far back toward the Big Bang as I can recall. Don't recall what was playing on the radio though.

Well, I mostly "read" the books with lots of pictures that had captions. We're 2 of a kind. Little freaks. Did you have a microscope and telescope? I find this is quite common among PF members when they were little.

That's very cool. Do you or did you have a photographic memory when you were growing up?

I was in Wimberly, TX, for a wedding - on my 40th birthday! Don't remember the cottage you describe :wink: but I do remember having to join a "club" in order to get a glass of wine at a restaurant there...it's a dry county :rolleyes:.

Gotta love Texas.

OK technically you don't but why fight it.

I was a child of privilege. My grandfather had a telescope in his backyard. It was an 8" reflector. There was a walk up platform to get to the eyepiece. And no motor mount. But damn you could sure see the moon. When I was older I built my own telescope, ground the lens and all - another reflector - phew. But it was a puny thing compared to his walk-up.

And of course I had a microscope and chemistry set too. I loved that stuff. My science projects tended to involve petri dishes and sketches of staff and strep and agar cultures and glass slides. I had a Bunsen burner in my bedroom even on my work table. Test tubes, chemicals, and a dart board. I even had a rifle hanging on a wall mount. When I think back on it my room was a real hazard zone for kids, but by some miracle we all survived. And that was even before seat belts.

I went to the planetarium whenever i had a chance. First time I went I thought "this is what I want to do when i grow up". Be a projectionist. :tongue2:

Forgot this. I realized after I posted that it was those Texas scrub cedar trees that were all about nor firs.

Either it's a good memory or taking a bath was so infrequent that it was a big event. The thing that is odd about it is that it's almost like a photo through a glass darkly. (To borrow a little from Alice.) And in shades of reds and blacks for some reason. But generally, no it's not photographic.
