I find that deep breathing and meditation help me handle practically any situation.

The thing that's really rewarding is when people will say to me that they had actually given up the bass, but are going to start again because the online school seems like a good idea.

To our Soldiers: Thank you again and again, you will always matter, not only on this Memorial Day but every day!

Music is one of those things that becomes a soundtrack to our lives.

I'll be forever grateful to this instrument for being the surfboard that I rode the wave of life on

I know that I am absolutely blessed beyond belief!

For me, love is an enhanced state of kindness, compassion, service, respect, and humility, an emotion I feel we are all here to give and to receive.

Sometimes, the person who could make you happiest is the one who waits patiently in the wings.
