Like most mothers she enrolled me in music (piano). Maybe because that's what parents did back then. Then like most mothers she became uncomfortable when I realized I was great at music and wanted to look into avenues to make it a career.
But unlike most mothers, she let me go ahead with it and made sure her desicions regarding my future were in my best interest. Some descisions didn't turn out the way she wanted, and some did. That means the ones that did didn't turn out the way I wanted, oh well. Considering all musicians want to be millionaires at it, I'm very happy with where I am now.
Here are three opinions about myself I believe she is responsible for forming:
- I would rather live in a stable environment than live out of a station wagon trying to make a dream come true that is a one in a million shot.
- I would rather work a job to make sure my bills are all paid as well as be a musican so I can have two jobs and more money than trying to just live off of an income that started off as a hobby.
- I would rather trust God to put me in a position to play places and events I enjoy playing than to struggle to make it work all by myself.
Thanks Mom, and happy birthday.
