The Beginning

It's a normal life storey for any typical musical artist. Many years of education, experience, travel, and finally, teaching. Perhaps it was the normalcy of it all that drove me to something different, even dangerous. Little did I know the danger of embarking on a journey to experience a different genre of music. Not because I was so highly attracted to jazz and blues; rather, to do something unexpected. It took many long nights to better understand blues, then jazz. I finally had to realize that I must love it to play it. So I loved it. But I had to embrace it feel it. So I embraced it...finally. The cost, was high. Very very high.
