Episode summary introduction:

One of the biggest gifts we have been given is the gift of music.  It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It can motivate us, make us happy, make us sad and in the end make a beautiful collection that will be the soundtrack of our life.  Maddog & TC share how music has made a difference in their lives to get the most out of this gift.
