Top Six Favorite Moments in Music

unnamed

Many of our favorite memories are defined through music. For SixContest #88, in honor of the 5th anniversary concert hosted by our friends at Guitar Mash, we asked for your favorite music moments in Six Words. Some memoirs describe where their passion for music began (“First time I saw Les Miserables.” —caralongwrites) while others set the stage for legendary performances (“Elton John, bicycle shorts, piano dancer.” —zsuzsu). Whether your favorite moments describe personal feats (“Became director of my favorite musical!” —Maeva) or capture your life’s soundtrack (“In Vietnam on Armed Forces Radio.” —wsupton), we agree with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra: “How can you pick just one?” —@BPOrchestra (via Twitter).
