The Saturday Night Everlasting
Music Playlist
“Music inspires my imagination.
When I hear a good song on the radio, it triggers a video in my head, a story of my own creation set to the playing music.
Sometimes it follows the lyrics, but more often than not, the song is just a jumping point.
Whenever I hear Gary Numan’s “Cars” for example, I’m back in 1980, at the Landmark Theater in Peoria.”
- from Goodbye to Beekman Place
