## Resource

What happens when a scientist who invented an artificial tornado, had an experiment on Skylab, and got a private visit from Brad Paisley, also writes six albums and starts a family band with his grandkids? Joe Eagleman's memoir My Love Affair with Music isn't just a book about songs; it's a testament to how creativity, shared across generations, becomes the most enduring legacy you can leave behind. From college dance halls to performing for 3,000 people on a Carnival Cruise, Joe's story will make you want to pick up an instrument, call your family, and start playing.
