“Many people have asked me to teach them to play music this month. The irony of it is I play 17 or more instruments but I don’t know how to teach them how to play. I am familiar with music but it is an entity whom I am familiar with. I borrow it’s ability to form it’s manifestation and as soon as I’m finished it robs me taking back the knowledge of how the song was engineered. Music is a friend who keeps me company. It keeps me from being lonely and stays with me everyday. When it needs to it manifests itself in my head as lights just like the colors of the wind does for painting artist. It’s manifestations color the notes I am to place my fingers on and if I trust it the notes will be correct, but if I try to figure it out I will fumble the notes every time. I cannot teach you what I don’t know. My lesson in life is to trust the entity called music.”
