The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.... We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

And wherever they are, the angels will dance. – Joan Wester Anderson
We sat outside the studio at night, among a few candles, and closed our eyes for a minute. After that, we jammed straight from our hearts.
