Describe a musical experience or teacher that had a positive impact on you.

My dad is a talented, gigging country/rock piano player. When I was very young, he would let me join him and the band on stage with my harmonica. I did not know what I was doing, and was likely not adding very much to the music they were playing. However, everyone was very encouraging and supportive of me being up on stage and having fun. I believe this planted the seed for me wanting to become a musician and provide younger musicians the same support and encouragement.
