Ep. 4 - Marching Bands and Whitney Houston: Stories of Laughter and Loss
Manage episode 378042957 series 3497179
In this episode, our very first guest, Andrea, shares her six song story of the process of coming out, the pain of losing loved ones, and the life-saving role of marching band, with some tackle football thrown in! From Whitney Houston, Yolanda Adams, and Brandy to Alanis Morissette, Trick Daddy, and even Yanni (you’ll have to watch!), Andrea shares not only the stories attached to these songs, but her passion for being a musician rings loud and clear throughout. Pull up a folding chair, grab a drink, find a spot around the fire, and enjoy the conversation and community (and a good amount of reminiscing!).
Follow your hosts David, Raza, and Carolina every week as they embark on an epic adventure to find the songs that are stuck to us like audible tattoos to tell the story of who we are and where we’ve been. It’s a life story told through 6 songs. Take a listen, and as always, if you have someone whose life you’d like to hear in 6 songs, let us know.
