"This book speaks loud about values, and it shines with love. I found it truly inspiring!!!" For her full review, please check out my website: https://www.larryamstutz.com/reviews.html

I have also found that many people prefer e-books as they do not have to pay shipping costs, or wait for a couple of weeks to start a book. My book is available in an e-book format on different platforms such as Kindle, Kobo, Apple, etc. https://www.larryamstutz.com/bookstore.html

Today I am posting the final 10 Album Cuts... an eclectic collection of classic rock, ballads, country, folk, and southern rock. Steppenwolf to Paul Simon, Johnny Cash to Supertramp, Van Morrison to Travis Tritt. All personal favourites that represent chapters in my life and chapters in my book.

When I was younger and would get a new album, I would sit in a comfortable chair, put on my headphones, close my eyes and let the music wash through me; letting the lyrics inspire me or soothe my soul. Pick a favourite of the 26 Album Cuts, close your eyes and enjoy.

Thanks to my twin brother for introducing me to Elton John's music! This weeks two Album Cuts include an Elton John classic from the H***y Chateau Album for the chapter "Back to the Woods", and a Dire Straits rocker is the cut for the chapter "Satisfaction Guaranteed". Hope you enjoy!

A couple of my favourite music tracks are also my "Album Cuts" this week. My favourite "hippy" song, penned by Canadian Joni Mitchell, but sung by Matthews Southern Comfort... is the cut for the chapter: "Following My Path".

The second track is the album cut for the chapter: "Radio, Signing Off". I heard this song in 1976 for the first time from Harry Chapin's Greatest Stories Live album... which is still one of my top 3 all time albums. The song flags the life of a "morning DJ"... Please check out both these album cuts!

Two quite different tunes for this weeks "album cuts"! From the chapter "Close Encounters" an old rockabilly/country tune and from the chapter "The Stinking Yellow Bus" a classic Beatles #1 hit from the Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Enjoy.

Have you ever heard a song that brought you back to a particular moment in your life? Each chapter of my memoir, Finding My Groove, starts with an "album cut" that is personal to me in some way. Each week I would like to share a couple of these cuts with you, and hopefully they will remind you of a moment in your life when you were moved to smile, to dance, or to reflect.

Please take a listen and let me know if you have a favourite... and don't be afraid to turn the volume up! https://www.larryamstutz.com/album-cuts.html
