I am excited to introduce this week’s Guardian of Virtue. Shane has been a friend and musical mentor for several years now. I really appreciate his musical skill. The way he takes care of every note that he puts on a page as he composes shows me that he really does Guard the virtue of music. I’m excited for you to get to know my friend Shane! @shane.michelsen
