Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a fun read. The author has an easy writing style. This book is about the author's journey spanning several careers and a softer, simpler time. For me it was a story to trigger memories of my own life as he presents the emergence of FM radio and how our taste in music has changed over the decades. Every year he lists the top five songs for that year. I would remember where I was and who I was in love with and the events of a stroll down memory lane. I was amazed some of the memories were still stored in my brain. I just felt better after reading this story.
There is also a interesting story about community banking in Australia. What a great idea, why can't we do this in America?
