    'Music is medicine': How my dad’s relationship with music evolved with him

    Music has always been important to Sam Jansons. When he was 16, he heard the drums in the Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir" and decided he wanted to play. Since then, he’s expanded to playing guitar, writing songs, and even messing around with his daughter's piano a bit. RadioActive’s Josie Jansons has this story about her dad, her family, and the role music plays in their lives.
