We often have to lose what we thought we wanted to find what God wants for us

I went in [Sweet Basil band] and played with them, maybe half the gig for almost eight years or more.

When I was a kid, I always saw these pictures of a man called Bob Gordon with a baritone saxophone, who I understood was my father. Turns out he wasn't. He was my mother's first husband.

You are not a true success unless you are helping others be successful.

I had a lot of bad habits in how I was playing the horn. And I slowly, in high school and college, started to recognize them and get them a little better. But it was not an overnight process, I'll say that.

A true leader doesn't lead to gain power. They lead to empower and give power away.

I definitely had some moments, where, "Wow, these were some hard chords" on some gig.
