For some, this may seem like a silly question coming from me.

But, the truth of the matter is, learning, playing, writing and arranging music in various forms is, at best, only 25% of what makes me tick.

Producing films, writing copy, doing large format photography
and other elements of managing communications is at LEAST as important to me.

Communication research and teaching at the college level occupy another large chunk of my interests.

And finally, humanitarian work on behalf of certain people and groups make up the final hours of my day.

Thing is, I couldn't choose one of these fields over another.
Luckily, there is some overlap...music is a critical part of many communications project.

This is one reason why I work about 100 hours a week. I've never been able to choose. That, and being pretty good, but not nearly "world class" is why I never really tried to do music and only music.

I couldn't imagine life without being involved in the process of making music, but if I were suddenly not able to play, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Add family (a major passion) and, surprisingly, music is important but not everything, by any means.


What about you?
