I am 46-year-old musician who keeps his music to himself for the most part. I was slated to be a concert pianist until a farm accident in 1991. After that I no longer performed. It wasn't until 10-12 years later that I regained sensation in my left hand, and I began to write music. I will never have the skill I did pre-accident so I write in tracks and then mix them. As such, I cannot perform anymore. Initially, I thought this was a downer thing, but I now love writing music like this as it leads me to New Age music. If you knew me, you would never guess I write New Age. I find music to be necessary to life - even critical.
