Music is very subjective...one person's joy is another's noise. Music stirs emotions, especially blues as that is my favorite style. As my son grew we always had music in the house, mostly rock which I was OK with. He picked up a drum kit, liked it, became fairly proficient at it and started his own band in high school & college...even produced a couple cd's with original tunes. There's a lot to recording and marketing, good life lessons for him.
Music saved me, in a different way. After my dad died, I was trying to figure out what I was doing in life. I hadn’t found a way to grieve his loss. The relationship was rocky for much of my life, but better in the end. I started writing. Songs. And more songs. Several were for him directly or indirectly. Five years on, I wrote the song that let me say goodbye. Writing and performing songs have become my life. Our lives, as my wife and I both write and perform together.
Oh Dan, how wonderful! I remember listening with you during those difficult years: you introduced me to a lot of music I was unaware of, and i'm sure I probably did the same occasionally. Music has been been an intrinsic part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I hope it always will be. It is so awesome to know that Bean will be so immersed in music and be able to continue to not just listen but create music of her own. ❤️🔥

This is a beautiful story, Dan, thanks for sharing!
