early in elementary school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Around third or fourth grade my parents got me a Yamaha keyboard for Christmas and I started writing little tunes and playing along with the built-in drum machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> From then on </span>I would bore my family to death every Christmas Eve with hour-long performance pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p

tunes – they need to market, promote, and distribute them, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>As a solo act, I have to do all of that junk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>But the fact is I don’t often meet people who are both talented and motivated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It’s pretty easy to find people who have one or the other quality, but in my experience having both is rare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I also much prefer working with friends as opposed to some stranger from a Craig’s List ad.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>When I can pull in a friend to help me out I don’t hesitate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Back when I was living in Chicago on old friend who is also a great drummer lived there, too, and I got him to play

instrumental music can often be more powerful, emotional, and thought provoking than music with lyrics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, I realize that most people want to listen to lyrics and sing along.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Lyrics are how most people connect with music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So that’s something I’ve struggled with on my two
