Music has a way of taking us back.

A song can bring back a person, a place, a summer, a first car, a first love, or a moment we haven't thought about in years.

The albums in this piece are part of the soundtrack of my youth — records that meant something to me and helped shape the person I became.

The Music of My Youth

Each album was chosen for a reason. As this piece comes together, I will share the stories behind the records and why each one holds a place in my memory.
