This was a concert I would glady and willingly go into, and embrace myself in free-flowing tears ... and I loved this album so much, I'd purchased TWO CDs (*at different times)! When I first listened to the album, I was on the beginning of my career in the local media industry, and was instrumental in pushing me further down my chosen path then ... and listening to it years later, at the edge of me leaving said media industry, left me smothered with memories and regrets - truly a Soundtrack To My Life/
