Here’s another clip from our Sunday morning Artist Q&A from Rick Braun… this is a story about the inspiration behind his latest project ā€œRick Braun plays Chuck Mangioneā€ā€¦. Listen to him tell the story of meeting Chuck Mangione and the special touch he added to honor him on his album. I just love a good story!

One of our favorite moments of DJW is the Artist Q&A on Sunday morning. It’s a chance for us to hear the stories behind the artists and the music. This is a clip of telling her story on how after having a movie director explain his ā€œimageā€ of the soundtrack for a movie how the melody came to her. She says it’s a lesson on being able to receive and how she ā€˜catches’ the melodies. Enjoy. ✨
