You hear a song, and a memory opens up. Music carries us through life; the good, the bad, the tragic, and the wonderful. Through it all, the songs remain. This series of audio essays explores our relationship with music, the songs that made us, and what it means to be human in this world. A story of inheritance, brotherhood, and music. What gets passed down, and where it all began. Welcome to The Starter.

Some mornings I wake up before dawn, and I know that I’m not going to fall back asleep. This was one of those mornings...Time to get up. I had bread to make anyway... There are certain albums that feel like slipping on an old worn leather jacket when you play them. The songs remind us of who we are, and where we came from. It's all right here.
