I have never stopped playing music.
'Let the music play on' would be my legacy.

My words are like a musical instrument, softly & seductively playing under the moonlight as they penetrate the depths of your loins!
I had the fortunate experience to play with people from different schools of music. Sam Rivers is from the fundamentalist school of music.
