Whatever I do, I attempt to do it fully. I try, and don't always succeed, to be thorough. There are musicians who do not know their worth, and if they knew it at one time, it has eluded them. I know my worth. You try not to dwell in the past. ↗

The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers. ↗
