Why I Started Memory In Sound

Some of my very first memories are centered around music.

I remember going with my parents to buy new records, then rushing home to watch them spin fresh vinyl from the record player. The music would fill the house, and you could see the excitement on their faces.

That’s what Memory In Sound is all about.

I created this channel because music has been the soundtrack to every chapter of my life. Every album on my shelf has a story. Every concert ticket reminds me of a place, a person, or a moment I’ll never forget. One song can instantly transport you back to your first car, your best friends, your first love, or that unforgettable night when the band absolutely blew the roof off the place. Music is the closest thing we have to time travel.

Here you’ll find stories behind the records, concerts I’ve attended, and the albums that helped shape my life. But this channel isn’t just about my collection.

I want to tell your story too.

If you’re a fellow record collector, music lover, or audiophile in the Greater Austin area or anywhere across the Texas Hill Country, I’d love to meet you for a casual interview. I’d bring my camera gear and create a video to showcase your collection and story on my Memory In Sound channel. I want to visit your listening room, see the records that mean the most to you, and hear the stories behind them. Because every collection has a history, and every record has a memory waiting to be shared.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, please contact me by sending an email to shad@memoryinsound.org. Let’s preserve these stories before they’re forgotten, one record, one conversation, and one memory at a time.
