Finally, I was no longer a student and was making music for myself.
Kenny G
At some point, you have to stop being
A student of life's music
A collector of the melody of others
and the wisps of songs left behind by those who have moved ahead
Eventually, you have to stop being a student of life
and the way others sing it
And start making music for yourself
now, that is a song I would love to hear!
and that's poetiquejustis
Serve the Lord with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
Psalm 100:2
