My earliest memories of having toys was that I gravitated toward two things
One was a toy Penguin called Sammy Sound that had different sound effects on it like a clicking wing, a squeaking nose and a tom tom tummy
There was a record that went along with it and you were supposed to play the appropriate body part
I played that thing over and over until I had it memorized
Sammy broke and ended up in the trash
My other toy was a set of bongos which I called “Babalus” because I saw Ricky Ricardo sing “Babalu” on TV
Those soon ended in the trash after I broke the heads

My next memory was visiting my relatives in Georgia and being at someone’s house who had a country band rehearsing there
I can remember heading straight for the drums and they let me hit them with a stick
