About this listen
2010 - Helping pack up his childhood home was going much easier than Amir expected. The only sticking point is the record collection his father Alonzo refuses to put in storage. When Amir asked his father why he needs to keep all those records with him, Alonzo offers to tell him a story instead.
Monterey Pop Festival - In 1967, Alonzo was a baby music reporter at the Village Voice on his first big assignment. By his side is photographer Ada Carr who is all brown skin, big afro, and sharp tongue. He should be worried about his story, but all he can think about is the way Ada looks dancing to the music in the dusk, the stage lights illuminating her form. He knows love when he sees, or better yet hears, it.
Over the course of two weekends, over 40 years apart, Alonzo imparts a soundtrack of love and life to Amir that bridges the past and present and they both learn how to say goodbye.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 657
When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

Boring. Invisible. Pretty for a plus-size girl. Those were all the things I felt about myself, thanks to my chosen career as an accountant and society’s depiction of the perfect female. So, I booked a trip to Vegas for my birthday. In walked Soul Matthias, treating me and my body as anything but ordinary. Player. Bad boy. High-risk. That’s what baseball owners banked on to lowball my contract. I had to get my act together. Then, in strutted Alexa Livingston. A breath of fresh air, someone completely different. But what we had wasn’t real. It was just a marriage contract.

Back Down Memory Lane
Wow! Listening to “Back In The Day” conjured such wonderful childhood memories for me especially the joys in Motown & The Jackson 5’s music. My goodness, I could relate to Alonso concerns and meticulous care of his (and Ada’s) precious vinyl collection! They just don’t make music (class Rock, R&B, Jazz and Blues) like that anymore ☺️🥲🤷🏾♀️‼️The 60’s & 70’s were the sweet years for awesome music, incredible festivals, great bands, hot pants, baby doll dresses, platforms, afro/afro puffs, cornrows with beads & posners get down brown lip stick🤣😂.…yea, those were great times! …thank you for the trip, back down memory lane 💭🥰‼️

Beautiful....
told story. I love that the sex scenes weren't an over kill. They were just right. I could hear each song that was mentioned. I love the line from Alonzo ”we weren't always your parents, ” Amen! We seem to forget that the same passion that magnetize us to another, our parents/grandparents have experienced once before too..

Katrina Jackson has a new fan
This is my first title for Ms. Jackson - while Jakobi Diem was what initially drew me to the project, I was so intrigued after I read the synopsis. Her writing is poetic - with Back In The Day, a beautiful ebb and flow of words that transports the listener back in time, to his or her first experience of falling in love. The way she wove music and photography into this story was masterful, lyrical. I loved Amir’s relationship to his family, and the dynamics and banter between him and his father were so hilarious and real.
Jakobi Diem’s portrayal of each of these very distinct characters is emotional and wistful…he adds the right amount of softness, pain and passion to his performances that take the listener on an amazing journey.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I Loved The Constant Musical References🎵🎶
I absolutely loved the musical references throughout this story....The story basically expressed how music is the soundtrack to a lot of families lives...After Amir & Amaya loss their mother....they go to help their father Alonzo pack up the family home so that he can move in with his son Amir....in the midst of packing the house up...they come across a lot of Albums (Old LP's) and need to make a decision what to do about them....this was really a good story....but, I didn't like the fact that the author made Alonzo so sad...although, I realize he had just loss his wife....it was really just too sad for me....the bright spot was the constant talk of music and how it played an intrigue part of their lives. Jakobi's narration was stellar as always!

Let’s Set the Mood Right Quick:
Back In the Day by Katrina Jackson
Drink: Bourbon Old Fashion
Music: He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat) by Jill Scott, Stars by Kindred the Family Soul
Audible: Jakobi Diem: Jakobi took his time with this one. It felt like he let every word marinate on his tongue before delivering into our ears. It was such an unhurried story and a chill vibe that Jakobi delivered effortlessly. He took his time articulating every word and immersing you in the moment. He left us feeling like we watched a film vs reading a book. That’s how much his voice brought these words to life. The audible is a must.
Alonzo Reid: If, “forever and always,” was a person it would be Alonzo. He truly proved that true love is timeless.
Ada Carr: If, “fun,” was a person it would be Ada. She was so sweet and proved time and time again that love and patience go a long way.
Amir Reid: If, “I want to be like you when I grow up,” was a person it would be Amir. He was the perfect representation of a man that still needed his dad.
This story was such a joy to read. It felt like opening a time capsule and walking into the past. The picture was painted so clearly, and you felt the love, the friendship, and the community that these characters got to experience. Back in the Day was just a clever romantic read. This was our first story by Katrina Jackson, but it won’t be our last.

Beautiful love story
It started off a little slow and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to finish but then it picked up and I found myself captivated. Jakobi narrated this to perfection.
