A fantastic story that took me down memory lane. Your music seemed to cross the same path as mine. Songs that are iconic to America that will play on forever. You are so right when you lose the person you shared the music is gone, the melodies change a lot. GREAT WORK.

This is a wonderfully-written, nostalgic story about your wife, and some great music as well, Terry. It sounds like you had a lot in common and shared wonderful times together, and I'm so sorry you lost her. I'm sure she would have appreciated it. Jim

It sounds like your shared a wonderful life and have musical treasures to help you reminisce as you remember Zoe.
You have a great narrative voice. You draw the reader in and tell a story like you are sitting back enjoying a cup of coffee and going over the best of times.

Love the way you open with the lyrics to "American Pie" and then translate them to the day the music began for you and your beloved.

Holy cow! First date and she comes up with "And I do think we will be lovers." This was a woman who knows what she wants!

The paragraph that begins, "Like thousands of others have done." That sentence is incomplete, Terry. I would connect it to the next sentence somehow. By the way, The Wedding Song was played and sung by a guitarist-friend of mine at our wedding. Like thousands of others . . .

I always hesitate to read your stories about Zoe because they're usually sad, but they also speak to your love for the woman you lost. So I read . . .

Music is in the background of most of our lives - I can't imagine life without it.

Thanks for sharing this intimate story, Terry.

Pam

Nice. I feel your loss. I also remember the music. I liked many of the same songs and still listen to them. May your memories be as good as your words. Very well written. Thanks for sharing it. Stay well.

My dear friend, this is a beautiful story about some of the music in the soundtrack of Zoe's life. It's obvious from the songs your selected she had an eclectic sense of taste about music, and it seems also about life in general. It was a great read, and this time your visual fit perfectly.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the memories. Always was fun hearing music at the events at your house and going to concerts like Simon and Garfunkel with Zoe ...especially cause you footed the bill. ��

I remember these songs and the atmosphere as well. Yes, Roy did a great job to be a bling man but it doesn't sight to create rhythm. This is a good post.
