Digital downloading of music has affected us all in adverse ways.

I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.

My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.
