Music Was My Life: A Journey Well Lived

From a very young age, Gary Emilio Cavalier has been obsessed with music. From the age of two to now, at seventy, Gary has lived a life of performing, concerts, and as an audio and visual tech for musical events throughout the years. A blend of memoir and historical record, Gary's humorous stories of young, crazy days in smoke filled concert halls and festivals are mixed with fascinating records of the histories of various artists, musical instruments, and events such as Woodstock show the evolution of music from the 1950's to present, from the rise if Beatlemania and Elvis to various genres that have stemmed from rock and roll's earliest beginnings.

Seventy years of history, stories, and behind-the-scenes work have led Gary's passion for music, and he now shares that passion and knowledge with you.
