Why do you play?

Because other hobbies, wild women, drugs, etc. have all failed to quench that inner fire that drives me to spend excessive time, energy and money in pursuit of a dream that was kindled when I was a preschooler listening to the radio in our kitchen, watching my mom singing and dancing to the music as she worked the kitchen.
I seek to become one of the wizards who craft stories and dreams out of words and music.
After all these years all I can say is that at best it’s still a work in progress…

At least the pursuit functions as a kind of therapy and helps keep me sane.
Though as a guitar player it’s often frustrating how much time I have to spend just trying to maintain my chops.
