Friday sessions

Last summer Bob Regan, the founder of Operation Song invited me to lead a 10 week program with four female veterans who suffer from PTSD and other military related trauma.

Operation Song is an organization that unites Vets with songwriters in hopes that the process of being heard and writing about their experience will infuse some healing into their stories.

So every  Friday morning we would meet in  the music therapy room at the VA in Murfreesboro,Tennessee. They shared their painful stories, struggles and dreams in powerful and vulnerable ways. 

The end results are these songs written with each vet to express their story, anthems really, for a sense of hope for the future.
