When I'm playing concerts, I'm truly living in the moment. When I'm recording it's not the same exhilirating energy, because I know I can do it over. It's like watching National Geographic on TV, which is nice, but it's not the same as taking a walk in the woods. It's always been very clear to me that I would make music. I tried many other professions and it now seems that for a time I was trying to avoid my destiny.
Some people have a career and some have a calling.
Yes, and it's also a gift that I need to give. I'm also very blessed to be making a living doing something I love. But there's always more, there is always another step you can take. Then again, I have this silly image of myself sitting on the front porch in the country somewhere in my rocking chair playing the harp. Maybe that's my real heart's desire.
