Fave Childhood Songs: The empathetic child

Just saw a Dr Hook song on a friend's blog, which reminded me of the song "When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman." Was one of my favorite songs when I was in grade 2 or 3.

I love looking back at fave childhood songs, cause they're so random and mysterious. Okay, not totally random--they came from my parents' record collections after all. But my mother owned A LOT of records, so how I alighted on one song over another, I don't know. I recently read an article about a study that ties empathy in with enjoyment of "easy listening" type music, so I'm glad to see I was starting out life on the right note.



Love the maracas. If you saw this band photo would you guess this was a disco band? The 70s were a mysterious time.
