the thing is, I was only one year and one month old, but I vividly remember that moment and those voices.
In that way, in {our house) I heard something and it was music, at my mothers knee I said “what is that” she taught and told me it was Bing Crosby singing ‘Don’t fence me in!’, I hd never heard music before.
