Show favorite Ben Rathert is back again with a look back to pretty much the very beginning of his ever-growing series of volumes. This week, we join a high school-aged Ben looking for anything in the world he can call his own -- and finding music to be that thing. There's not much a teenager can claim with certainty, but for Ben, the process of putting together these songs and feelings became an important, even transformative experience. Let's talk about it.
