All The Things That Human Beings Suffer

After I Found Out That I Was Playing Music And That I'd Have To Learn How To Read And Write Music, I Started Doing That About Two Years Later.

I Don't Really Live Like A Musician Myself. I Think Music Is Just Something That I Do, But I'd Like To Be Doing Lots Of Other Things. I Like To Cure All Kinds Of Illness.
