“I would like to dedicate the song “Desperado” by the Eagles to my dad. When people ask me about my job, about my love for music, or about my love for making music with others, they also frequently ask me from whom I developed my musical talents. My dad always encouraged me to pursue my passions; he has been there for every concert, recital, play, or any other production with which I have taken part. He also paid for a lot of lessons along the way! The Eagles are one of my dad’s favorite bands, and it is from his love of music that I was first introduced to making music of my own.” ~Andrea Halvorson, MT-BC
