Subject: The soundtracks of your life

Music is evocative. Starting in early childhood certain songs would bring back strong memories of people, places, or events in my life. If I made a cd of all these songs it would provide the soundtrack of my life.

Allstar by Smashmouth will always remind me of the summer of 1999. That song was always playing on the radio that summer, and seemed a fitting theme song for that time.

June 2000 through June 2001 will always be remembered with Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen. I played that song daily during this period, and it seemed to sum up my feelings much of this time. Instead of making me feel sadder, this song gave me a strange sense of hope.

The song for the summer of 2001 is Blue Skies for Everyone by Bob Schneider. It's a great reminder for me, and sums up my feelings at the present.

What are some of the songs that make up the soundtrack of your life?

"Little Willie" by the Sweat. Bubblegum, but the first record I ever owned.
Some less obvious Beatle tunes: "You're gonna Lose that Girl" maybe. or "Two of Us"
Same with Queen: a couple not so well known ones.
Charlie Parker, "Parker's Mood"
Miles Davis, "Flamenco Sketches"
Bessie Smith, (would have to be several of her tunes)
Robert Johnson "Preachin' Blues"
Blind WIllie McTell "Delia" and "Dyin' Crapshooter's Blues"
Mahler's Third symphony
Shastokovitch's Fifth or Tenth

In addition, my own Sonata for Violin and Piano, String Quartet #1, and "Swinging Tomatoes" for jazz big band.
