I was out of work, and I was having a difficult time finding a new gig. I was also having a hard time maintaining my relationship with my girlfriend, and my life in general wasn’t going well. I was tired of practicing, and I didn’t know what to practice or why I was practicing it.

I met a man named Michael who said he could teach me about music. He said that music is bigger than you think, and that he is living the laws of Music. He said that he doesn’t teach; he shows.
