I loved this book, partly because it's an engaging story, but also because the music mentioned is MY music, the music of my time. 
 What was. What might have been. What is. What will/won't be. We all have our memories and some of us get caught up in them, forever wondering and sometimes trying to go back to go forward. Adam has to make some choices and it's not clear at all whether he'll make the right one, or even what the right one is.
