When you listen to the song “Leader of the Band” you can’t help but get emotional. Everyone can insert their life, their “Dad”, or their own circumstance into the lyrics of that song. Even if your family is not a musical family – leader of the band hammers home the image of a patriarch for all families.

I was introduced to one of those – a shell of a man that once was a monster cornerstone to a family he probably never imagined. A dad, husband, grandfather to a family that he created – literally. Adopting children that brought me to the woman I would fall in love with. A carpenter, builder, contractor that left his personal footprint on so many lives!

Leaders of the band don’t need to be musicians. I know the intent of the song says the same. Leaders of the band are, John.

I want my children to hear this song and feel the same.
