Matt Fogelson shares his thoughts and feelings about becoming a new dad having lost his own father in Restrung: Fatherhood in a Different Key. He retraces the relationship, describes coping with his dad’s diagnosis and subsequent loss, and makes sense of the senseless in time to parent his own son. All of this is set to music as Matt navigates his life through the tunes that matter.
