The Soundtrack That Reconnected Us

🎷 Did you know people who play or listen to music regularly are 50% more likely to report stronger emotional bonds with those they care about?
Because sometimes, music isn’t just what brings us together—it’s what keeps us together.

In this soulful episode, we meet Big Al, a 24-year-old jazz musician from Memphis who grew up distant from his dad—a quiet Army vet turned city garbage man. They never bonded over sports or long talks… but they always had jazz.

As Al’s love for music deepens, so does his understanding of the man who raised him. What starts as silent porch hangs and shared records turns into something bigger: healing, respect, and an unspoken love carried by rhythm and memory.

This story is a reminder that sometimes the deepest relationships don’t need big moments—they just need consistency, presence, and a little bit of soul.
