We May Be Coming To A New

I Play An Instrument That Has Four Strings, And I'm Still Trying To Get It Right. What I've Tried To Do In The Process Of Playing These Four Strings Is To Try And Understand The People I Meet, The Stories They Have To Tell. And Then Become An Advocate For Them And Their Stories Through Music.

Sound Is Ephemeral, Fleeting, But Some Sort Of A Physical Manifestation Can Help You Hold On To It Longer In Time. I'm Sure Of This; I've Always Thought The Sound That You Make Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg, Like The Person That You See Physically Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg As Well.

I've Been Traveling All Over The World For 25 Years, Performing, Talking To People, Studying Their Cultures And Musical Instruments, And I Always Come Away With More Questions In My Head Than Can Be Answered.

I Want To Investigate Different Cultures, To See How Their Identities And Values Affect Their Music. It's One Way I Can Get To Know Our World, At Least To A Certain Depth.

I Learn Something Not Because I Have To, But Because I Really Want To. That's The Same View I Have For Performing. I'm Performing Because I Really Want To, Not Because I Have To Bring Bread Back Home.
