Dream Down Memory Lane
My eyes opened to white clouds engulfing my whole body. I was weightless, lighter than a feather. I swirled with the wind, suspended in the sky. During my time floating around I was limitless, time non-existent. Until the softest light started to pierce through the middle. The clouds split open, revealing the most beautiful pink and purple master piece of a sky you've ever seen. The moon shone on a heavenly gate, with words carved out in the silver, the gate read "Memory Lane".

The End ... of the Beginning
"What a long, strange trip it's been," and it wouldn't have, couldn't have been the same without music. Memory is a tricky thing, and no doubt this chronicle of my musical journey is misremembered, sometimes embellished, and only a snapshot (4,269 words cannot cover sixty odd years of rock and roll) but still true in the larger sense. True to the music. After all, that's what really matters, staying true to the music.

For Phyllis
I shared an earlier version of this letter with my sister Phyllis weeks before she died in October 2014. Phyllis gave me the gift of music. I’m forever grateful and I could not have created the following playlist without her. This is part of my ongoing pratice and project to write “not left unsaid” letters to people who have had an impact on my life. Don’t wait to tell the people you love and care for what they mean to you. Reach out, even if it’s with just a short note, a card, a text, or a voice mail. Leave nothing unsaid when it comes to your appreciation for those who matter most in your life.

Inheritance and Adaptation
It’s difficult for me—as I imagine it would be difficult for any lover of music—to come up with a set playlist of perfect tunes to outline a soundtrack to my life. After all, we are so connected to the music that defines our human experience that choosing some of it to showcase as “important” invariably omits so much more that may be equally important. Of course, being a composer and sound engineer, I see the value in buckling down and making those cuts. Having a wide range of musical taste, I could give you the jazz version, classical version, punk version, music box arrangements of video game music version (not even kidding) of my life; I could give you countless combinations of the above and more. What’s more, it could refer to an aspect of my personality, a time in my life, or an overarching biographical soundtrack. I’m going to go with the full-on biography, which means it will be harder to choose the songs to represent the journey, but let’s see how it plays out!

An Audio Story
I wonder about the power of music, and I worried about writing this story. And is it a story? Am I giving you a real narrative? I have had a very hard time with this particular piece, and I had to write down all of my material in freehand before I could even think about typing this out. And I needed a particular set of rules:

As I Phyxate
1997 Lets start things off on how my music repertoire began. The very first exposure I had to live music was a Bob Dylan concert when I was less than a year old. Although this doesnt seem possible for a baby to recall, it's been proven that infants brains absorb music and sounds from a young age that stay with them throughout not only childhood, but adulthood as well, and form a basic foundation. While Bob Dylan is usually an aquired taste, his stylization has always held a special place in my heart. The folk singing methods and simple melodies filled with harmonics feels like the home I grew up in. Appropriately this song in particular "The Times They Are A-Changin'", fit right into my beginnings of coming into this world, a changing, new world for myself and a changing one for my newly made parents.
