I love music

I listen to music the way most people watch movies. I'm not majorly opposed to any particular type of music. Even if there are certain genres I listen to more than others - I appreciate that it all takes work to make. I have a mixed CD that transitions from Akon & Eminem's 'Smack That', to Nat King Cole and Natalie's 'Unforgettable'. I like it all.

My first song lyrics were written 2 years before I owned a guitar, or even imagined I would ever play. They began as a poem. I bought a guitar after I went to see Norah Jones in concert. During the show she mentioned that she just started playing. I thought to myself - If she can do it, I can do it. (Never mind her 8+ Grammy awards.) So I bought a guitar. With a Norah Jones Piano-vocal-guitar book, I figured out how to read the chord diagrams, and slowly began to play...very slowly. It wasn't until a friend of mine suggested we play guitar together that I truly began to practice (because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of him). So, thank you R.S. - I wouldn't be where I am today without you.
