Episode 435: Father's Day

Whether it's with a father, a grandfather, or a father-figure, celebrating this Father's Day connects us the same way music connects the listener with deep emotional memories and structural features that help define our character and bring strength to our lives; much like a father.  This week on Wind & Rhythm we explore these connections, dedicating them to Father’s Day.
