Reagan can trace back her earliest memory to music. It was Ernie singing "Rubber Ducky" and it changed her life. She decided to completely devote herself to music, to the exclusion of all else, however after a stay in the hospital due to starvation and some severe hygiene issues, she had to rethink this total exclusivity.

She traveled to India to study with the legendary Ravi Shankar, but was not allowed in without an appointment and so returned after having learned her first, difficult lesson:
"Always Make An Appointment".

Deciding that maybe indian music wasn't her thing after all, she was offered the chance to study guitar with Classical Guitar virtuoso Andre Segovia. Upon arrival at his studio in Spain,Segovia found her charming, witty and vivacious, but alas, without a guitar, and so lesson 2 was quickly learned:
"Always Bring An Instrument to Instrument Class".

She hitchhiked from Spain to Austria, to learn from the Master Composer himself, but upon arrival after asking a few of the locals where Mozart could be found, instead learned Lesson 3:
"Make sure Your Teacher is Still Alive".

She eventually made her way to Berklee where Years of study, of music, composition, harmonies, voice, musicianship and theory were thrown out the window so that she could join a bunch of old geezers and sing tunes.
