I grew up with music. I can remember the first album I ever heard oh so long ago (Anita Baker – “Rapture”) and even the first instrument I tried to play (pots and pans drums), and as I’ve grown (25 as of July 5, ’14) my tastes have grown more and more eclectic. I still listen to “Rapture” from time to time, and I still play on pots and pans when drums aren’t available. I’ve become more of a woodwind type. Now I like to ponder on the philosophies of music. Because why not?
