A few things became clear as I got ready to share my songs and stories in a

series of virtual campfires. I would need a team of people to help me. It

was going to take a lot longer than I first imagined. What I thought was

going to be simply a journey of memory quickly became one of discovery as

well. I also quickly realized that the exploration allowed for and demanded

that I open “doors” long shut and often locked. To do

that was more difficult and more satisfying than I could have ever imagined.
