Essay Published in Gravel

I'm so happy that Gravel published my short essay "What's He Doing in My World." The year my father died, I wrote a handful of essays about him and nothing else.  Under ordinary circumstances I often wait quite a while before editing or sometimes even completing a piece. However, the essays I wrote after my father's death sat for longer than usual before I could bring myself to complete them.  Some of them I still haven't edited, and it's been three years since his death. 

I can't remember what inspired me to write about my Dad's music preferences.  I was just thinking of him one night, and this essay came out.
