Paul McCartney wrote the "How To..." music book that I refer to the most. Elliott Smith holds a dear and special place in my heart in a way that no other artist ever has. Vincent Van Gogh holds a similar place for similar reasons. Anyone fighting for our country at the moment or in the past because I can't imagine or relate. My Dad for letting me never doubt I was loved at an early age. My Mom for showing me the true meaning of unconditional love and telling me "bless your heart" when I was a child. My Grandmama for how she looks at and sees life and its unique situations, patterns and lessons. And Neddy for showing me the true meaning of patience and being a good parent.
