Great story maestro. You're easily able to tell all kinds of stories from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other, with equal ease. "Range" is the word I'm looking for.

Music brings out the best and worst of everything. That’s what makes it so completely memorable. 🙏

Thanks, GC. Your story shows me that ;you had an even more challenging childhood than I had. There are other parallels in your narrative to my life story. Among other elements, I've been estranged from my younger sister for over a decade.. We used to be very emotionally close, though not to the point of getting shared tattoos. I've lived aspects of a self-created prison. Those prisons are good to escape from.

Awesome writing, as usual. I've thought about getting a tattoo, but ugh... so expensive!
