A great introduction to Huntsville’s musical history

By
Kathleen Murphy
Wednesday, November 30, 2011 — Issue 129

We appreciate having Jane DeNeefe back in Alabama [“Evolution of a writer,” Arts, Nov. 23].

I recommend her book, Rocket City Rock and Soul, to those who enjoyed music in the 1960s and current music lovers. While reading, I enjoyed both reflecting back to the music I loved then and exploring in my mind the music I love now.

YouTube got a work out because I found that you must listen to the music when you read the book. Be aware that your mind will travel in all directions.

Yes, Rocket City Rock and Soul is more than a good read, even if I did not grow up in Alabama. (I'm from rural New Jersey.)

Life’s ups and downs in a rusty white Subaru

By
Sarah Levine
Wednesday, July 4, 2018 — Issue 466

So my story, like so many of ours around here, starts with spending far too much time in a Subaru - specifically, a 2001 white Subaru Forester with what someone referred to as “freckles.” Those freckles were actually dime-sized and quarter-sized and plate-sized rust spots. But I like I the term “freckles” a lot better. This Subaru - which I decided for unknown reasons to name “Willie” - and I went through a lot together, ups and downs. Willie was...
