Q: i realize that as a multi-instrumentalist, it would be impractical at best for most of your music i've seen, but *do* you ever do live performances? also, i'm curious if you have had much formal musical training. it's clear that you have near-boundless natural talent, but your songwriting is also exceptionally sophisticated, to an extent not customarily seen in self-taught musicians. i've always found you unique in that regard, and am extremely impressed by it.
A: that's nice of you
