What does it mean to finish a story someone else could no longer complete?In this episode, I sit down with William Holst to talk about completing his late mother Hinako Fujihara's final project—a biography of acclaimed composer Allan Hovhaness that became something more than a historical account. It became a love story, a family legacy, and a tribute to two remarkable lives. Together, we explore what it means to preserve another writer's voice, balancing editorial decisions with authenticity, the responsibility of carrying forward someone else's dream, and why Allan Hovhaness's music continues to resonate decades after his death.Whether you're interested in memoir, biography, music, or the stories we leave behind, this conversation is ultimately about legacy—and the people who choose to protect it.Learn more about Alan Hovaness and purchase the book here:https://alanhovhanessmusic.com
