This week at the park bench we have Nick Scarpinato. Nick and Matt talk about the first time they met at an open mic, how Nick was part of the catalyst for this podcast, and the struggle of learning how to play guitar. The two go on to begin writing a song with a working title, "Stay Strong," about watching your grandparents grow older in the different phases of your life. This is a heartfelt tune about these everyday heroes in our lives, almost like superheroes come to life.
