Well I don't write, I attempt to scribble here and there. And no, nothing ever so grand as being published.
My musical background is like almost every non classical musician in the world. One day a special record was heard and that was it. I was hooked, started trying to play various instruments and was off to bar land to become a rock star. What else?
I feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.
