I'm a living sunset, lightning in my bones.

I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.

I appreciate that something I've done has found a safe place to land.

My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center.

You can't just say 'I love you,' you have to live 'I love you.'

The good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I've gotten happier so it's a damn good thing.

That happens every time I get behind a guitar, regardless of what I'm saying, 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual.
