My Love Affair With Music

A Memoir of Family, Faith, and the Soundtrack of a Lifetime What if the greatest gift you leave your family isn't something you build - but something you play? In My Love Affair with Music, Joe Eagleman tells the uplifting story of a life lived in harmony. From picking up a guitar in his younger years to performing well into his 80s, music becomes more than a pastime - it becomes the heartbeat of family gatherings, friendships, and unforgettable celebrations. As the founder of the Eagleman Band, Joe shares stories of cruise ship talent shows, annual family reunions attended by nearly one hundred relatives, milestone birthday performances, and recording five albums alongside children and grandchildren. Even when COVID paused rehearsals and life shifted in unexpected ways, the music never stopped - it simply changed key. Filled with humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, this memoir reminds readers that creativity has no expiration date, and that the most meaningful applause often comes from those who know you best. If you love stories about family, perseverance, and the joy of making music at any age, this book will strike a chord. Because some love affairs last a lifetime - especially the ones set to music.
