This book has some fun prompts and is well-designed. It’s great for anyone who wants to reflect on their life through music.

March 1, 2018I began creating playlists a few years ago of formative, influential and memorable music. It began with a tune here and a song there. But late last summer, I amped up my musical memoir project into a full-blown hobby, curating, adding and annotating about twenty songs a week. Fun and tuneful.
This new book apparently focuses on memory and memory jogging. While mine is in good shape and drives my music memoir, I look forward to other ideas in this book, classified under guided journal.
