Without a doubt music has an impact as a marker of history. As very well Debbie says transports us into parts of our lives that otherwise would not necessary come back. Pink Floyd in this case, has made that job. Thank you Debbie for putting this so nicely

Thank you for the concept of walking down memory lane. What a great moment in time. I first heard Pink Floyd’s music when “Dark Side of the Moon” was released. I too was in 7th grade (1973ish) and it was mindblowing. The album cover (yes vinyl) was the refracting prism. 2 Cool for words. All my friends bought it and you just had to own one. I remember going to my 1st Pink Floyd concert many years later @ Giant Stadium NJ July,1994 1st Row and their world famous AWESOME SPECIAL EFFECTS!!! Although we are from completely different generations somehow we are connected by strolling down memory lane and 7th grade appears to be the common denominator. Thank you for the enjoyable experience.

Debbie-Great blog. I can relate to the concept of songs marking memories;however, many of the references allude me. It’s the generation gap. My memories in freshman year are marked by Carole King’s Tapestry and the ever-favorite James Taylor. Thanks for your words and sharing.

Truly great music can change your life. It’s not just a song that played while something else was happening to you, but the impact of the song itself that becomes fixed in your memory.

I like that you shared your personal memories to commemorate a great musician. RIP.
