It&#8217;s memoir, ostensibly about my new iPod, and touches on themes you&#8217;ll recognize in my writing.  What started as a brief reflection on music became an unexpected journey to forgotten places.

It was a gift for my Father, the first I had ever given to him.
The essay&#8217;s development goes back as far as 1990.  I wrote a related version during a Memoir Writing class I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesmokeofparadise.wordpress.com&blog=1820792&post=48&subd=bluesmokeofparadise&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
