In this episode of Dear 21-Year-Old Me, with guest John Bucchino

• We go back in time to 1972 when our guest, John Bucchino, turned 21, and look at his trip back to the East Coast from California.
  
  
• John reflects on his earliest musical influences and how he began songwriting.
  
  
• We talk about how John's composing evolved, and the importance of humility and being true to himself.
  
  
• John reflects on a critical lesson with an executive and what led to a key track in a Disney movie.
  
  
• John talks about having to let go, the creative process, and being the best you can be.
  
  
• John reflects on the array of people he's worked with, and having to learn how to collaborate.
  
  
• We ask John what he'd say to his 21-year-old self, and what John at 21 would say to himself now.
