Hey, Anna, you have siblings, don't you?

Yes, I have two. A brother and a sister.

Imagine if you made music with them. What do you think that would be like? I'm going to get in so

And he doesn't know it. And I remember sitting in our house growing up listening to him try to sing and be like I simply can't do this this is too much well

nobody will know but us but you and I okay I'm sorry I can't believe you how it is it time you knew

oh my gosh but I have right? I think I have dreams of what it would have

playing musical instruments of some kind or another. And of course, I played a little bit of music.

As we got older, we were able to play together, which is really a special thing to be playing

with your siblings. You know, we talk so much about the ways that music allows us to connect with our culture,

with our ancestors, but there's something incredibly intimate about doing that with family

members, I have to imagine.
