Lisa--it wasn't Delta Dawn, though I surely remember that one.  (and I fear it may burrow itself into my brain unless I stop thinking about it immediately.)   ....could it be a faded rose from days gone byyyyyyyyyyy....

I have this faint memory tickling the back of my brain...some song about a father who didn't like his daughter's boyfriend.  I know that is vague, but the only other thing I remember is perhaps the sound of an engine revving on the song?  It's gonna bug me until I remember, and then I'm afraid it might bug me even more.

oh , margaret! here's the good news...although we're old geeks, we're old geeks still up late on a thursday night! :-) one tin soldier...I HAD IT! :-) i'm not sure what my first album was, but it might have been the partridge family. i had older sisters though, so i had hand me down records too. i remember buying the carpenters and carly simon with my babysitting money.

45's--add me to the Billy, Don't Be a Hero geek list.  I also remember One Tin Soldier, Ode to Billie Joe, and Hooked On a Feeling.  They cost 99 cents at "Peaches" record store down the street.

My first full length albums were the Johns--Sir Elton and Olivia-Newton.

well alrighty. so long as we are embracing our inner geeks, i must tell you that i enjoyed and am old enough to remember a weird toy named "creepy crawlers"..it would gross me out now, but i was braver then. you made these molds of insects and such and baked them in a mini oven thingie.and got rubber colored creatures. better than an easy bake oven! ;-)
