More about: Musical artists are constantly pushing boundaries, revealing the unknown, and opening the doors of my imagination.  I love it.  Especially the ragtime rhythms of Scott Joplin’s music which when taken separately, much like the pieces of our life stories, seem to be merely noise but when combined create a wholly beautiful picture all can enjoy.

The real innovators did their innovating by just being themselves. ~ Count Basie
