This episode features a story by, and an interview with, Keith Serry. The story is from our Summer Love event — and Keith uses this theme to reflect not on romantic love, but that temporary, fleeting feeling of a youthful moment.

Keith Serry is a father, husband, performer, teacher, producer, host, journalist, and, when called upon, lawyer based in Montreal.
Since 2020, Keith has produced and hosted The Volume Knob (www.volumeknob.net), a podcast where some of North America's most talented storytellers share stories about the way music makes us feel.


Keith told this story live on the Centaur stage in September 2022.
