Earliest |
Some of this music is what my parents played that I appreciated. But most, although from their period, are recordings I just like, but can't really say I heard way back when ... |
|
Around
the
House |
This is the music I learned mostly from having older brothers around. This period was also the advent of Rock-n-Roll derived from R&B - that negro music I learned to love. |
|
Junior
High |
This is the period in time, when I developed my own sense of music. These are some of the recordings I remember from my Junior High days: sock hops mostly, but also some that I bought -- like the folk music. |
|
High
School
|
A lot of the music here was played at the Friday Nighter's dances. Some of it I played on the record player I had in my "Low Rider" automobile, and while some were released before I was in high school, they remind me of those days. |
|
Navy
Days |
These are some of the songs that remind me of my time in the service where at sea or in a bar music was the main entertainment. I can still place myself exactly in boot camp, aboard ship, in Vietnam, and/or in which bar for each song. |

The
70s |
These highlights of my 1970s (post Navy, college, early marriage, beginning a career) days are all music rich memories. This is also when real home audio equipment came of age -- I came home from the service with the best audio toys. |
|
The
80s |
In the 1980s children's music often filled the house, but we also listened to a lot of our own music while playing Candy Land or while commuting and at work. These are some of the songs I remember from the 80s. |
|
The
90s+ |
In the 90s I was teaching. My commute was only a mile. I didn't listen to music while working. The kids were playing their own music around the house. So, I don't have much in the way of my own favorites and I can't really distinguish the 90s from 2000s so this is just a big mish-mash of familiar music thru 2009.. |
