Song 802: This week on the playlist you can hear From the Beginning by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, written by Greg Lake, and you can find a cool YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. It makes sense to feature, as the first song for this year's collection, an anthem about initial experience. Around a year before the tune climbed the charts, I began a romantic partnership with an attractive young woman, and as we two inexperienced adults struggled to figure out some basic elements of life a year later, one of my closest hometown buddies, after getting drafted into the U.S. military, started to rent an apartment in the Nashville, TN, area. His place had an extra bedroom, so he offered to let us become his roommates in August of 1972, and we felt pleased to do so as it gave us a comfortable background when we floated along with this ELnP excursion riding the airwaves, feeling that it was all clear that we were meant to be there from the beginning.
