The people who teach us, who take care of us, and who inspire us to dream engrave a mark on us that often goes unappreciated or even unacknowledged. But, nonetheless, their influence is present within us from the time they touch our lives until the day we lay to rest...

Music

Music has occupied a large portion of my existence and is more a part of me than I could ever express. And I owe it all to several influences -- not necessarily all good =D, but important all the same.

Mrs. I.SH, 13 years and counting. =) I appreciate all the lessons you've taught me, both in music and in life. For believing in me, for the encouragement, for the patience, for the talks and understanding, I thank you with all my heart.

BP, I definitely learned much more than just harmony and counterpoint from you.
