In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Listening to Frank Sinatra with my father. My father also used to listen to Tony Bennet and many different jazz bands. When I was 7 or 8 we went on a cruise and I heard the band practicing and sat in with them and loved every minute of it!! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Frank Sinatra, Sinatra At the Sands Maynard Ferguson, The Essential Maynard Ferguson Van Halen, Van Halen Remastered My father played Sinatra at the Sands over and over again I can't not put it on this list. I played the trumpet (badly) in the school band and went to some Maynard Ferguson concerts, he was amazing! Van Halen was the hot rock band while I was in HS. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Wish You Were Here” There's a girl who's 5,000 miles away right now and I wish she was here. She's the inspiration behind most of my songs and I miss her badly so I keep writing songs about her.
