Books are only the shadow and life the real thing. I believe this as strongly as any belief I hold.
I listen to archival and historic recordings. I love watching singers. I learned a lot from watching videos.
Because too much of my life was spent waiting to be seen. Hoping to be seen, hoping to be picked. Once you realize that you aren't looked at that way any more, other things start to happen and you have to depend on other things to get by.
