For me, the most important thing is the element of chance that is built into a live performance. The very great drawback of recorded sound is the fact that it is always the same. No matter how wonderful a recording is, I know that I couldn't live with it--even of my own music--with the same nuances forever.
Good because I want you too. Now. Forever. Just you
I never imagined anyone like you, Blaire. But every time I think about forever with you, Iâ€™m humbled that you chose me.
