ET CETERA Thank you, Cory, for including me in this adventure. It has been wonderful to explore a celebration of Sherri Wojcik, a woman I never met but feel like I’ve learned a lot about through the music she left behind.
My mom left so many notes, books with passages underlined, newspaper clippings… These are the small things we treasure. I’m so proud to be her daughter.
Big love to Gerri, Jill, Sam, Cooper and Isaac.
