Above is a photo of me and my dad, Thomas Lakin, from 1969 -- the year I was born. Ever since then, he has been a major musical influence on me, particularly in my teens and 20s, when he did so purposefully. Unfortunately he passed away in 1994, but his spirit and guidance live on with me always, particularly through the music he loved and shared so enthusiastically. In honor of Father's Day, I'm podcasting a smattering of the music my father gave to me one way or the other -- I hope you enjoy and have a terrific Father's Day!
