Episode 2 - Growing Up Continued

Our podcast has a name! Thank you to Dave Monsour for suggesting "At Any Rate" before he'd even heard the first episode.

Episode 2 continues the conversation about Grandpa Zmurk’s childhood and explores his heritage and extended family dynamics. We learn that he grew up hearing his dad sing often and Grandpa grew to love music, too - even teaching himself to play an instrument by ear without ever learning how to read music, a trait a few of his grandchildren inherited. At the age of 16, it was with the same do-it-yourself spirit that Grandpa researched construction to take on the feat of building a home for the family with his father. And, perhaps unbeknownst to many of us, we are related (by marriage) to a Harlem Globetrotter.
