In the last blog, I posited that “...music is personal. We have all been moved by music and empowered by music in ways we may not have considered.” Then I asked you to “think for a minute about the importance of music in your own story”. Well, that wasn’t a rhetorical question, and since I have been buttonholing some of my old friends and clients asking what “music empowers” means to them, I figure it’s only fair to share my own story.
