A Thousand Tiny Steps

How Music Has Moved My Soul


Listen Later

Seeing Bruce Springsteen in concert was life changing, but it has differed since I was in my early twenties. When I was at the concert all the memories of my life came rushing back and it's crazy to think that I am in a very different stage of life than I used to be. In this episode, I contemplate how the arts make an impact on children.
