I did a concert... in September with the Berlin Philharmonic... They're great musicians, and there's always something to learn from them. ↗

I live in Topanga Canyon, which is like a faux-rustic enclave in Los Angeles. I love the sounds of all the critters outside - the frogs, owls, crickets, and birds. Some of the birds around here are pretty accomplished musicians. You can learn a lot from them. ↗
