I Don't Know The Reasons Why Something Is Intimidating To Me Or Disgusting To Me And I Don't Like Feeling That Way, Either. I Don't Like It When Something Turns Me Off, On Any Level. So, Its A Matter Of Saying: Well, I Can Either Sit Here And Reject, Or I Can Do Double-time Embracing Of Something Else Just To Reassure Myself That I'm Not Against The World.

So, Its A Matter Of Saying: Well, I Can Either Sit Here And Reject, Or I Can Do Double-time Embracing Of Something Else Just To Reassure Myself That I'm Not Against The World.

I Felt So Liberated When I First Saw Charles Mee’s 'the Glory Of The World' At Bam Play, Because For Me This Is The Gateway To Contemplation, Or This Is The Gateway To Love, Or This Is The Gateway To Faith, Not Sitting And Reading A Book By An Isolated Monk, God Bless Him. This Is.

As A Kid You Learn That There Are Thinkers And There Are Philosophers And There Are Theologian, And I'd Hear Little Bits Of The Ideas That These People Pursued Or Developed Or Created And I'd Be Really Excited. Then I'll Start To Read It And I Think, "wait A Minute, This Is A Rabbit Hole. This Isn't A Gateway Or A Ticket To Anything Except Itself."

Sometimes The Ensemble 'eighth Blackbird' Will Have Performances And Invite Me To Be A Featured Soloist. I Think That Is What They Call It In That World-"featured Soloist."
