The most important day of your musical life was not the first day - the day you brought the instrument home or signed up for choir; it's the second day - the day you chose to come back.

Pro Tip: Your art is your gift and is in no way reliant on approbation from others. If it's meaningful to you then it will resonate with kindred spirits.

@joelycett is absolutely brilliant. Timing, delivery, syntax, Samantha Peterson - he has it all. Love you, Joe!!
