Description

We all have a soundtrack to our lives songs that as soon as we hear them were transported to a moment in time As the youngest child and only girl in a family of creative types Myf Warhurst grew up with the music in her Whether she was watching Daryl Braithwaite on TV on a Sunday night or listening to the crackle of the needle across vinyl as Agnetha and AnniFrid took her from rural Victoria to Eurovision music has always shaped Myfs life Later her love of music and the realisation that a professional pianist gig wasnt part of the plan would shape her career
But music isnt just about memories Its a safe place for people who feel different Songs and lyrics helped Myf make sense of the world and deal with heartbreak and uncertainty Music steered her hopes and fashion choices cemented friendships and bonded family In Time of My Life she shares funny fabulous and occasionally fraught tales about growing up in a small country town with an unhealthy obsession with Countdown then working in Australian radio and her experiences on the muchloved music quiz show Spicks amp Specks She spills the backstage beans on work fame feminism failure love and success Like a sommelier matches food with wine Myf matches hits with memory and in the process reminds us all that as Louis Armstrong said Music is life itself

A captivating and joyous memoir of wisdom humour and heart that unleashes the music within us all
