My Life in Three Songs: Senior Citizen Memoir-Writing Class

WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.
For the past few weeks, we’ve been asking you to share three songs that sum up moments in your life. So far, we’ve had a bunch of listeners and special guests accept the challenge, which we call “My Life in Three Songs.” You can check out our website or Soundcloud page to listen to them. The other day, we got a different kind of call on our hotline. Writer Beth Finke called in to say that she was turning “My Life in Three Songs” into an assignment for her students. Beth teaches memoir-writing classes for senior citizens and many of her students accepted the challenge. She’s joins us with one of her students, Mel Washburn, who shares his life in three songs. And if you want to share your three songs, leave us a message on our hotline by calling 855-848-5551.
