Great work. I was very impressed by how you were able to fuse your love of : The Who, Steppenwolf, and these other bands and artists with all of these moments that happened in your life. Thought the parts of your tale where you were jamming out with your battalion was awesome. Well done.

You wrote very beautiful memories for this "I Remember" contest. I love music as well and I do understand how the power of music, or the words of a song can transport us back. I am delighted I read your story.

Songs can help us heal and transport us back to good memories. I enjoyed reading your story, most of the songs you mentioned I am familiar with. I would have loved to attend that music session in Japan.

Music truly is the soundtrack we base our lives on. I still the first time I heard Folsum Prison Blues on our old AM radio. I was hooked after that. What a wonderfully written story.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

This is a really nice write and I think it reflects what so many of us know and that is that music is an integral part of life and more specifically, OUR lives. Very nice write for the 'I Remember' writing prompt contest.

So true for everyone. Songs bring back flashbacks whether it is a memory a school event, or just a forgotten feeling. I guess it's true; music does move the soul.

I enjoyed learning more about you and your taste in music, your family life and army days through the songs you associate with certain occasions. You are in the same age group as myself, judging from the songs and lyrics i also remember so well too.... especially those by Simon and Garfunkel, Johnny Cash, Bob Seger, bruce Springsteen, Steppenwolf, America, The Eagles, and Stevie Wonder... remarkable similarities in taste. Your mother gave you good advice to choose your own style to appreciate.

This biographical piece, The Soundtrack of My Life, has many titles and many emotional connections with powerful life songs. The share of your son dying from SIDS from the most horrific, I think, since death should only come to fathers and mothers. I want to leave thinking my kids will live forever.
