You're so right. For me, the "Dolly Suite" transports me back to my pre-school days, to "Listen with mother" on the radio. I used to love it (but before your time, Malcolm!)

I don't know that song but I do find that music is one of the strongest aids to memory and one of the strongest inspirations I know

I don't recall that particular song,
but the New Christy Minstrels were on a big record album the kids used to listen to "all the time," when they were in the house. One line I remember "a snake's belt slips because he has no hips, and a boy's best friend is his mother." Nice blog you write, and this one especially!

I like songs that bring back memories! How frightening to be in the hospital and so young! The children do grow up far too quickly! sam

Malcolm, wow, what a memory and I'm sure you were terrified and a bit traumatized from that surgery and such at such a young age...I had not recalled that music in a while - WOW~ Fabulous!!!! I like your blogs - Elyse

Yes music does do that. There are several songs that transport me back even to a certain day in time.

I miss those days too sometimes, Malcolm. But wait, when the granchildren come, we get to do them all over again...without the 'staying-up-all-night-with-sick-child' thingie!

You just reminded me of some silly songs that I invented
for my Grandchildren when they were little....their Mummy tried to sing them for them when they were misssing me and No..Mummy that is all wrong!
