I grew up surrounded by music, I didn’t have the most conventional upbringing, but I wouldn’t change my life and relationship with my father for anything, and he was a loving and caring grandfather who happily savored every moment of his three granddaughters. He gave me the ultimate soundtrack, as did his wicked sense of humor. I’m eternally grateful for every minute our family spent with him and for the music he brought into the world to positively impact the lives of so many people along the way.
