Listening to an old, familiar song can bring us right back to memorable moments of our history, whether it was graduation from school, getting a job, raising our children, or serving our country. Music is the soundtrack of our lives.

In just a few generations, we have witnessed so many changes in technology, attitudes, and styles in the world around us. We’ve heard stories of the first flight around the world and even watched the first person walk on the moon.

This book is an attempt to capture the essence of the music and the historical icons who have shaped our lives over the years: our very own Musical Memory Lane.
