Make Music Day on June 21 encourages people to celebrate music in all its forms.
We are doing just that with a look back at 9 Echo tuneful scenes.
We've got the Summer Streets Festival in 2014, the Prospect Row Mission putting on a show in 1980, folk music in Washington with the Davey Lamp group in 1979, and a performance of The Boyfriend in Thompson Park in 1973.
Enjoy!
