I do think music and the arts are imperative for our kids for their creative learning and their emotional education, which breeds better adults. I'm doing what I can to try and pick up the slack and I applaud anyone who tries to give back to their community.

Your love is better than chocolate. Better than anything else that I've tried.

You pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm okay, sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day.

In the arms of the angel, fly away from here....you are pulled from the wreckage, of your silent reverie, you're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.

The night is my companion, and solitude my guide.

I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.

Music gave me a sense that I was worthwhile and that I had something of value to offer the world even though everybody was telling me that I didnt.
