"The neuro-biology of playing a musical instrument is completely scientific, but itâ€™s also an absolute miracle, that youâ€™re taking basically a calcium bucket filled with salt-water thatâ€™s run by a weak electrical signal, and youâ€™re using it to move your flesh around in order to manipulate an instrument which disturbs air molecules between you and the listener, and then the listenerâ€™s ears picks up those disturbed air molecules which generates a weak electrical signal to their calcium bucket full of salt water, and they feel a feeling. Thatâ€™s miraculous, and thatâ€™s where I live."
