Digital downloading of music has affected us all in adverse ways.
It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.
You'll be surprised how much better you feel about the world when you feel better about your self.
If I can make a connection, one connection, to any one listener in the world, I consider that successful.
