I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.

Music became a healer for me.

For me, the most trustworthy vehicle for spirituality had always proven to be music.

It's very dependent on your state of mind. And your emotional state as well. And a lot of it comes pouring out, you don't really have that much control with it.

I have no problem with religion, and I grew up with a strong curiosity about spiritual matters, but my searching took me away from church and community worship to the internal journey. Before my recovery began, I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter.

Leave bands, go back to obscurity if I choose to, without a great sense of loss of security because it's all been based on the fact that I did it on my own or was doing, enjoying doing it on my own in the first place.
