Along the way, I've been witness to the history of multiple genres, which has caused many of my friends, followers, and fans to suggest I write my autobiography. But since I don't plan to take time away from everything else going on in my life to do so, I've decided to periodically share nostalgic stories from my many creative journeys here.
