#ScribesAndMakers 3/25: Do you use #music as a storytelling tool?
Don't know if this counts as a "storytelling tool," but I wrote a mystery set in 1959 London Soho that takes place in the jazz scene there. Lots of songs mentioned, with specific versions/recordings in mind, and that became my writing playlist built up over the course of the project.
(By the way - that novel is still looking for a good home!)
