What is your most fond musical memory.


One that makes you yearn for the ‘good old days.’

Mine took place in 1970. My grandparents were going on a world tour and I had their whole house to myself for 2 months. Alone at last!. I was 16. First thing I did was set up my audio system. Then I turned down the lights and put on the just released Grand Funk “Closer to Home’ album. I thought I was in heaven when ‘I’m your Captain’ came on. 10 minutes of Pure Bliss. To this day I get the tingles whenever I play that song.

Mine may not quite as memorable, living in NY about an hour from the City, my evening routine would start at 11pm.  A Disc jockey from WNEW 107.9 (I think) Allison Steele referred to as the NIGHT BIRD would begin her show for several hours. She had such a Sultry, soothing voice, almost memorizing .  She was just able to capture you. No drugs involved on my part. She would prepare a 2 or 3 or 4 hour segment of orchestrated music (ALL ROCK AND ROLL) she would ease you into a night of pure pleasure. Taking you through many music segments, Pink Floyd, YES, etc that one mood just continued into another SEAMLESSLY!!!  No abruptness, with a song that did not meld into the same mood you were in. A seamless progression of music!!  For those of you (I KNOW THERE ARE MANY) who know her will understand  what I'm trying to convey. Many good memories!! Robert TN        always a place in my heart

For the above post, I forgot to mention this all took place in the late 60"s may be very early 70's. Just to place a date on it. Above word in earlier, Mesmerizing ! Should have proofread, sorry.
