...i'm a bassist, poet, producer, artist, yes...and much more...but i've learned that giving is sometimes better than receiving...a trumpet player/musical director once said to me,"...it takes alot to make a meal!"...so i take my experiences, learn, grow, and try to help others, all the while, makin' power moves!...like zion trinity says,(www.kingqueen360.com) "karma is 360 degrees". word.
