There’s nothing that resonates as deeply as the advice of a grandparent. While many elders discourage the uphill pursuit of a life lived playing music, Ernest Orlando offered his grandson Michael one simple, salient piece of advice: “If you want to play music forever, that’s fine… just make sure you have a plan”. Now armed with over ten thousand hours of playing music across 3 continents and a decades deep arsenal of songs in his back pocket, Michael Saracino and his partner in music + life, Tara Lynn Stanclik have a new original music project and a plan – all done For Ernest.
