Since my last post, Memories in Music has gone live on the web. It’s great to just go and view it after so much hard work. The really hard work was done by Cynthia Blair, the most amazing artist and all around wonderful person. She’s one of those people that destiny brings your way right when you need them, and best of all she comes willing to be a blessing. This new project owes much to her. Thanks Cyn!

Of course, as one chapter of work closes, another begins, so now it is time to press forward with planning the Knebworth ‘79 Festival Celebration! Yay – a party! This party is very special for a lot of reasons – it’s the launch event of Memories in Music, the proceeds are benefiting a wonderful charity called Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, the festival in 79 was packed with great musicians, and it was the last time the UK saw the original line up of the greatest band on earth or in heaven (yes I am huge fan!), the awesome awesome awesome Led Zeppelin, so it will be a really great party come this August 11th! Just give me any reason to celebrate The Zep and I am all over it.

If anyone out there wants to help, I have a lot of jobs on the go. Get in touch and you can be part of the fun and fund raising.

Can’t wait to hear from you! Just shout really loud because I will be listening to Zeppelin, and with the set of speakers I have, when I listen to the mighty Jimmy Page, the paint starts peeling off the wall. Woo hoo!

We all have some memories that involve music, and not just things like remembering facts about our favourite musicians, collecting and playing music, or attending concerts. If you think of your favourite song right now, I’m sure there will be a moment in time connected to it in your memory.   Songs often have little movies of events in our lives that accompany them. If I think about some songs, I can still see a graduation party, getting my driver’s license, a holiday with friends… great stuff! Some memories are sad, but they make up part of my life experience too, and are made easier to bear by the music I love.  Music makes life richer and I appreciate all the musicians whose songs have touched me.

Shortly, Memories in Music will be launching. It is a non-profit social enterprise company set up by music fans. We want to collect and share music memories with other fans, but that is only a part of what we will do.  There’s a big launch party being planned for our first event.  About 400 or so of our friends will be able to attend, and we hope you’ll be among them! Keep an eye on this blog, and the website: memoriesinmusic.com It’s not quite ready yet, but almost! There will be many ways you can contribute to Memories in Music, and because the company is a non profit, while you are having fun you’ll know that you are also benefiting musician’s charities and helping people in need.

In the meantime be thinking of your favourite music, and the musicians that created it. If you have special memories in music, we can’t wait to hear from you.

See you with more details soon!
