David Frykenberg Music Man
David Frykenberg is Sam’s younger brother. Beginning to learn piano at age six, and then later, violin, guitar, and singing, music has consistently been his creative outlet. When listening to tunes, film and video game soundtracks were the first genres of music that wrapped his attention. He loved hearing different combinations of instruments and how music could be used to tell a story. Having read all of his older brother’s tales, he was only too thrilled to bring a musical storytelling accompaniment to Sam’s readings of Will and the Little Man Wee once the fable made it to print.
