Memory Tracks Harrison Yeager

- Music
Music can mean a lot to a person. A song, an album, an artist or a performance can strike up a wide range of emotion, sometimes with clear intentions, and other times in a uniquely personal way. Memory Tracks is a collection of conversations where a guest shares three songs that never fail to strike up particular feelings, often tied back to a memory forever associated with the music itself. The association could be a call back to a time of great loss, a moment of true love or a specific awakening initiated within. Be it a specific line, a chilling instrumentation or just the place where the track was first heard, guests explore what it is about each of these songs that call them back to these memories permanently nestled into their brain.

#53 Neil Gray
I learned about this Neil's musical taste through his son, Stuart, my episode 1 guest. When Neil found himself stranded in Austin over the last month, we had a chance to tape this episode where I got a much better understanding for some of the coolest 70s and 80s UK hits from Neil's youth. Bonus content at the end for more on great Scots and Neil's mobile disco.
