Connecting to my Grandfather’s Music on Holocaust Remembrance Day
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and I’m thinking about my grandfather.
My grandfather was a great singer. The music world he came from was very different than mine. And yet, the more time we spent together performing, the more I got to know him as a person and as a musician, the more I became influenced and inspired by him and his story. You may be surprised to know that my grandfather’s story of survival and his music had a lot to do with me recording my latest album Catching Leaves.
