Musician Quote
“What music means to me. . .

Music is what keeps me functioning. I play it, I listen to it, I breathe it sometimes or at least that's how it seems. It is my stress release and my recreation. For almost as long as I can remember when I haven't been able to go to something it's because “I have rehearsal.” So, in short, music is my life and YOR helps that be a reality, through it (YOR) I have played some of the greatest pieces of music that exist.” ~Annelise
