I often think about all the musicians I’ve met over the years who make a living in various ways, but what sticks with me is their unique expression, regardless of how they earn money.
I stayed at a friends place once for a few days, and I brought my sax that I was just starting to learn. After I left, the neighbors told my friend that they missed the music, which was funny since I figured I sounded mediocre. So I guess you never know how music will affect someone.
Thanks for sharing, Seth.
I'm sorry for your loss, Seth. And thank you for this reminder to keep making art, to keep pushing through, and to keep championing our own.

We don't know them all, they may be silent readers/listeners/viewers, but someone out there surely takes notice. And they probably needed our art at one point in their lives. That can't be measured by any stats. ❤️
