A friend of mine once told me that I can't screw up when I play my own music. I also take voice lessons, play other peoples' songs out of music books, and occasionally figure out how to play other people's music from records. This keeps my ears, fingers, and mind working. ↗

I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have. ↗
