"What is music? I think that music is one of those intangible things that cannot have just one question or one answer. It all depends on the listener, the story, and the story teller. Sometimes through luck and the tangled jumble of styles and syllables, the right combination occurs and a certain magic is created." -Jennifer Marriott
