Here’s what Emily has to say about the practice: “At the end of every month, we have a regular practice here of looking back before moving forward.

the g-string
In the late summer of 2012, a few months before Ryan left for a tour in Afghanistan, he bought a guitar. He’d had some musical experience growing up. He took piano for a few years and knew some basic reading of music, but for the most part, I can say that he has taught himself Continue reading

It started out so well. We had Continue reading
