Music of My Life Project: the First Year

Birth to one year old. I can't say I remember the music from this time. But looking over the song list from that year causes some titles to jump out at me. My first throught was BTO's 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet', because the title speaks of untapped promise, and I really like that song.

But near the end of the list I found the perfect song for this time period. It's one of my favorite songs. I've even tried to learn to play it on the piano, much to my wife's chagrin. It's a fairly simple tune, without words. Perfect for a time before I could speak. So the choice for the first song is 'The Entertainer' by Marvin Hamlisch.

I love your idea of picking out songs for each year of your life. I feel badly that I gave you a hard time about playing "The Entertainer" over and over... Maybe you could use the Headphones? :)
