A couple notes about today's episode: If you're just tuning in, go back to Episode 58 and listen to the book our Mom wrote, Andy's Home Now. This episode is the second installment of the interview we conducted about that book. Please excuse the audio quality as we were not in a studio. You will have the real experience of sitting with us at the table (via clinking ice cubes in glasses of Pepsi, banging noises, uneven audio, etc.). But hey, that's us! Join us at the table!

For those who may not have heard last week's episode, this is part of a three part series about the book my Mom, Bev Price, wrote about our brother who passed away many years ago. This episode is the first half of an interview with my parents about that book, Andy's Home Now. The audio is somewhat rough as we were not in a recording studio, but a cottage. Thank you for listening!

The project beginning with this episode is truly a labor of love for us. The author of the book we read is Beverly Price, but we just know her as Mom. Join us at the table as we interview her about her book, Andy's Home Now. It's the story of our brother's short but meaningful life and tragic but hugely impactful death. You won't want to miss it.
