Jukebox

A jukebox in the Garden Lounge does more than make you remember the time of the song. It actually takes you to that time. The first story in the series, “The Jukebox Man,” appeared in 1987 in a sister magazine to The Twilight Zone Magazine. The quotation is from 1994’s “Jukebox Gifts.” —Michael Main
I had carefully typed onto labels the names of over sixty Christmas songs, then taped them next to the red buttons. Somewhere in this jukebox, I hoped there would be a special song for each man. A song that would trigger a memory and a ride into the past. My Christmas present to each of them.
