So I had been thinking about doing one of those chain letter type deals in Facebook where you list a bunch a stuff about yourself or your favorite things and thought why not combine the two. Music has always played an important part in my life and set the stage for the various moments. And it works in reverse now as when I hear certain songs it totally floods me with memories of a certain time and place. So I compiled a soundtrack of my life. Hopefully I can be good and update it when need be.
