Some of his favorite bands as a teen were Aerosmith, KISS, and Rush. His current favorite songs were 'No Rain' by Blind Melon and 'Brandy' by Looking Glass. As his family, we honor his deep connection with music as the artistic voice of his soul expression. We would like to dedicate Lynard Skynard's 'Simple Man' and 'Free Bird' lyrics and musical vibration as an energetic definition of what we feel defines Scott and what we dream for him as he journeys onward.
