Music is the glue of the world...

About Me

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there’s something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It’s the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part...." -Nick Hornby, Songbook. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and monkeys do too (if they have a gun)"
"Whose pig is this?"
