Home / chapters / Music/ My appreciation for music spans across all genres, from rock and country to classical and everything in between. While my decade-long stint in the record business certainly cultivated this passion, it's the transformative power of music that truly captivates me—a capability to uplift and alter perspectives with just a single note. While reflecting on my time setting up a new Musicland store in Minneapolis, unpacking the records and meticulously arranging them in bins, to constructing elaborate displays to promote the latest Eagles album, it is the enchantment found in delicately placing a needle on a fresh vinyl record that says music to me. Whether it's the Canadian Tenors rendering "Hallelujah" or Led Zeppelin belting out "Whole Lotta Love," each musical note holds a unique kind of magic that resonates with me deeply.
