A Sibling-Influenced Musical Journey. Top Story - January 2024.

During the summers, our house in Sherman, Connecticut, would be alive with music – particularly on Wednesday nights.

Too young to hang out with either group, I would fall asleep in my bed to the sounds of The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Led Zeppelin echoing through the house.
