Music has the power to take you back to one specific day to one special moment.

Author Eric Gray writes about the songs that have stayed with us, and why. He has two books out called “Music We Heard Along the Way.” He speaks with Here & Now‘s Robin Young.

To share your music memories with Gray, visit his website is ericgrayauthor.com or email him at eric.concertstories@gmail.com.
