About Me

in a world of fluctuating uncertainty, the one thing that has remained a pleasant constant for me is music. that, and of course the need to create change. i want to inspire, provoke, instigate and plant seeds in every way possible. this is one of the many outlets i choose to do it in. i hope you enjoy, think, question, and share. oh! and comments, friends and dialogue are loved so very much.
