A good, thought provoking read, Alexander. I hadn’t given much thought to past musician’s private lives and how they may have influenced their craft. And linking it to your life today - well done. I’m so glad you continue to find ways to use your musical talent and allow music to influence your life. That in and of itself is a gift to your family: seeing you do something you’re so passionate about.

Love that you shouted out the part about our kids seeing us do stuff we're passionate about. This has come up in a number of our interviews going back to the very beginning: the power of setting an example that creative/personal passions are something you continue to make time for throughout all the seasons of life. Speaking from experience, the impact of watching your parent put together a career doing what they love can also be highly motivating and inspirational for a kid to witness.
