Tell It Like It Is
Long before we were married to our music collections, we were engaged in musical connections.
In life, some songs attach themselves to the personal circumstance of the listener, and in so doing provide a future pathway (mnemonic) back to them. Such tunes, some long forgotten, happened upon by chance, can so trigger times passed as to recreate much of the listener's then life-in-progress. Such a listening can rekindle senses long lost to the slow march of time.
The tune itself is not the measure of this, rather the listener in the midst of life freely and unconsciously associates what is heard with what else is going on inside of them at the time. Tastes, smells, colors, emotions, attitudes, dreams, etc... can all bubble forth. In such cases the gift of the artist is not the song, but the personal imprint the listener allows it to stamp on their psyche.
Since technology has provided us with the ability to observe such history at our whim, this site seeks to be an imperfect vessel of wayward nostalgia, a chance to happen upon the flotsam and jetsam of one's past, an opportunity to reinstate and reflect upon the shores of times bygone.
Every now and then it is can be serendipitous to put the 'now' on hold and give the 'then' an ear.
