Nastalgia of music

As of late I have been visiting a lot of old places in my head. Much of the music that I have randomly ended up listening to over the past few weeks has taken me back to different moments and places. For instance I happened upon "The undone sweater song" by Weezer the other day. Now admittedly not my favorite band. Yet, that song brings back to mind one particular day. Not a special day by any means but it was when I was in 7th grade and late for school. My sister Kristen was the one that got the honor of escorting me in our old truck named "Tony the tiger." Undone came on the radio and stuck with me.
The music inspires feelings that would otherwise be lost and that is one of my favorite aspects of music.
The music that has brought these feelings the most as of late are one of my absolute favorite bands The Push Stars. Listening to their album "Paint the town" takes me back to my first year as a river guide. One evening after finishing a daily my self and a group of guiding rookies decided to drive to Telluride for the bluegrass festival. There was Carson Workman, the driver. Amy Lawsen, the Canadian. Lindsey, Carson's girl friend at the time. Carrie Porter, Carson's unbeknown st to him future wife. Lorenzo McGregor, whom is 6'7" 320lbs and myself. Crammed into Carson's Jeep for the two hour ride. Arriving after dark we proceeded to to sneak into as best we could to the concert. My first time seeing Spearhead Micheal Franti. Crashing someones campsite inadvertently. The next day cruising through the beautiful ski town in spring. Taking the chance at a hippie bath in the freshly melted snow of a creek. This is the trip that I was introduced to the Push Stars. They became the Anthem band for that summer. from beginning to end. The salmon river holds more memories of that album then any other place does any other album.
