Music & Memory Rote Writer

I was born in 1963; a pivotal time in music. The Beatles were just starting to take over the music scene. Bob Dylan wrote and sang Blowin' in the Wind. The song in a way is an anthem for me and many who seek to find themselves.

Many songs have helped me become the man I am and I'm forever grateful to all the singer and songwriters; past, present and future, who with their songs, found a way into my life.

As one of my old friends said when I asked him if he had a saving grace, he replied "music".

Music like no other thing unfurls memories. And in my life my memories are monuments to my life. So any song that can cast a light on my past I will meet it with an amen. Pivotal dates in my life I know by the year various songs were released.
