Isn't it strange how we move out lives for another day? Like skipping a beat, what if a great wave should wash us all away?

I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.

Life it seems a struggle between what we think and what we see

I think making things that aren't necessarily shiny, happy feelings, putting them in that environment is sometimes an easy way to deal with the ugliness. Like, I know that as a kid, that I found - I think I learned this a bit from my mother - that if I could be as warm around strangers, no matter how strange or what different environment I was in, that people tended to be warm back.

One sweet world Around this star is spinning One sweet world And in her breath I'm swimming And here we will rest in peace

I think I am a very kind person. I think I'm joyful, but I could be kinder and I could be more joyful. I do believe peace is a state of grace, and not the absence of violence.

I go back to South Africa at least once a year, sometimes twice, and usually for a month. And probably, I'm guessing, I'll spend more time back there as I get older.
