I've been an avid music listener since I was 5 years old. I recall listening to the radio and waiting for my favorite songs to come back around in the rotation. I imagined and dreamed of the possibility of music "on demand". Digital technology has made it a reality and now am able to listen to my choice of songs anytime I want and explore new music all the time!
I was about 11 years old when I started wanting to play guitar. I've played pretty much since then, but I've come to appreciate that it's not the number of years I've played that makes the difference, but rather the number of hours. I've been blessed to be able to play with a group of musicians on a weekly basis for the past 15 years.

Terrapin Station, home of Imani Natural Products, is an 8800 square foot facility for music, art and wellness that includes a soundstage where we play music every week. My involvement with music has expanded beyond Terrapin and into the surrounding communities where I help organize music events.
When I was younger, I didn't realize the value of music as much as I do now. But as the years pass, I have begun to see analogies in music that relate to so many other areas of my life. I believe that music, especially playing music with others, teaches us more than meets the eye.
