Tracks 83: Music Mix 1983 Part 2


In 1983, as a seven year old, I grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood in a three bedroom two bathroom house.

My dad had a full size billiards table in the garage. The TV, which was a large piece of electronic furniture sat on the floor. Next to the TV monument stood my dad's entertainment center, where my dad would play his favorites: Pink Floyd and Eagles. My mom and I preferred the pop tunes like Journey, Hall and Oates, and Michael Jackson.
