When did you first realize that music was a "thing," something joyful, invigorating and inspiring?
When dd you first realize that music was YOUR "thing?"

From the movie, “Jerry Maguire”
Jerry Maguire: “Get back to the guy who first started playing the game (football). Remember way back when…when you were a kid? It’s wasn’t just about the money, was it?
Was it?
All right, I'll tell you why you don't have your $10 million yet. Right now, you are a paycheck player. You play with your head, not your heart. In your personal life, all heart. But when you get on the field, it's all about what you didn't get, who's to blame, who under threw the pass, who's got the contract you don't, who's not giving you your love.
And you know what? That is not what inspires people. That is not what inspires people.
Just shut up and play the game. Play it from your heart, and you know what? I will show you the money.”

What would be different about your performances, if every time you performed, you remembered that time when you first discovered that music was your “thing?”
Would you do anything -- or think differently -- to align yourself with your day-to-day life as an artist?
