William Stafford’s poem, The Way It Is, speaks of a thread present in each of our lives, a thread that Stafford implores us to hold on to so we don’t get lost. Andrew will tell five stories drawn from his musical journey that speak to finding, holding on to, and sometimes losing the thread. Each story has a musical companion, weaving through various genres and styles.
