My Love Affair with Music

by Joe R Eagleman

Free for honest review

My Love Affair with Music is a heartfelt memoir of rhythm, resilience, and relationships told through the strings of a guitar and the harmonies of family. From early inspirations to forming the Eagleman Band, the story traces a lifelong journey where music was never just sound — it was connection. Through college performances, cruise ship talent shows, milestone birthdays, and annual family reunions with nearly a hundred relatives gathered together, music becomes the thread stitching generations together. As grandchildren grow, move away, and return to the stage, the band evolves — surviving COVID interruptions, recording albums, and welcoming new members, including a retired son who joins the group full-time. Whether performing solo for a reunion crowd or celebrating an 80th birthday with juggling and song, the author reflects on how music shaped not only his career and creativity, but his identity as a father, grandfather, teacher, and performer. Warm, humorous, and deeply personal, My Love Affair with Music is a tribute to the joy of playing, the courage to keep performing, and the truth that it’s never too late for an encore.
