I am a music lover, player and have been involved with music all my life. I studied classical piano for ten years begining at age 7 and I started teaching myself guitar at age 11.

Thank you for the opportunity of speaking to you today. There's nothing quite like a keynote address to force one to think, to take the time to assess the value of what you do, to focus on answering questions like: What have you been doing with your life and career over the last 30 years? Why do you continue to do what you do?
