Our musical journey today begins in 1941 and ends tragically in 2016. Before you play the music, I want to pause for a minute and ask you a question.
Is the “Today in Rock History” way of bringing back memories preferable to the old way, when I chose a year or a theme for the day? I can do it either way. I’m easy. No, not that kind of easy. Let me know what you think … and thank you.

Ray, First of all I like the new logo ” music & memories” as that’s what music does for me. I personally have enjoyed every way you have posted but your new way reminds me of Humanities class with Mr. Boudette, Soule & others which tied events, including music, together. It’s working 🙂 Now memories (today) – My thought was “he’s not easy, he’s my friend” & to take us back in time you probably never knew that when we had class picture’s done & had to list our eye color I listed mine as blue gray since I knew they were not as blue as yours & that is why at our 40th reunion when Rose asked if I knew/remembered you I answered “he was the cute boy with the really blue eyes that I went to cub scouts with.” Music & memories.
Lee, thank you SO much! This has to be one of my favorite comments of all time!
Loved each and everyone of them today…as for the method, what ever works best for you…I love either way.
Thank you, Nancy. You rock!
I enjoy the different, creative ways you choose to showcase the medleys. I’ve really enjoyed this newest one with the Memories correlating with a date in history. I couldn’t pick a favorite format if I tried….you know me. XOXOXOXO
I do know you. I have known you for a long time; years and years. 🙂 I also know you are slightly biased when it comes to my selections … or maybe you just inherited some incredible musical genes. ❤️
It could be a little of both!
Perhaps 🙂
One thing I know for sure is you put your heart and soul into everything you put together! <3
Thank you … and thank you, as always, for your support. ❤️
Great songs again Ray, I knew they would be!! What your friend Lee said about “music & memories” holds true for most all of us!! For me music is also somewhat of a salvation for my soul. It goes back to my childhood which was not easy as I was bullied and picked on all through school as well as had somewhat of an abusive home life. I escaped in music!! So many songs bring back memories, some bittersweet and most good!! So if you ever wonder who pays attention, who listens, do I make a difference ……… I can tell you right now you do my friend … again … thanks for the “music and memories”
Penny, there are many times I do wonder who pays attention and I certainly wonder if any of what I try to do makes a difference. People like YOU lift me up and make me realize if I can help make just one person’s day a little brighter, it’s all worth it. Thank you, my dear. ~ Music & Memories~ ❤️
This one is great. Wish I had more time to listen. Keep up the good work. Or should I say play. Lol. Thanks!
Thank you, Sandy 🙂
Do it how the spirit moves you.
The spirit moves me any way I do it. My goal is to play them in a manner that other people enjoy the most. 🙂
