What was it that first led you to take notice of music ?

Not sure if this got me started or not but I vividly remember driving from Cape Town to Durban in an Austin Cambridge on a family holiday and we were going through the Transkei - a very unique kind of place - African huts in the hills etc. I was a kid at the time and this song came on the radio - 'Young girl get out of my mind' - Gary Puckett and the Union Gap - Young Girl. I only found out many decades afterwards who sang it. But that song is burned into my brain for evermore. My father was singing this loudly while driving through this unique landscape. My mother was looking at him as if he'd gone nuts. My brother and sister were either side of me in the back seat and I was staring out the back window watching the road disappear. Never forget it.
