You don't need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.
Negativity is the enemy of creativity.
I didn't really grow up listening to blues, because I grew up in the Northwest. It wasn't really the center for blues.

I'm not a musician, but I play music. So it's a strange thing.
