I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.
I grew up climbing mountains in Montana and Wyoming and my wife and I were engaged on top of a mountain peak: Hyalite Peak in Montana. It was a 15-mile hike to get to the top of that, round-trip - thankfully, she said yes.
No beast has ever conquered the earth; and the natural world has never been conquered by muscular force.
