I'm a left-handed, right-brained, self-taught, composer, lyricist, instrument innovator, multi-instrumentalist and a surrealist visual artist to boot. It's been a long de-ranged trip from age 5 to 59, being as I've always and only somehow made it through the world relying on my art and music.
The road is also softened by many friends and family members. Been close to homelessness but I've always managed to have a home of sorts nearby. It makes it easier to play music in the streets for people's spare change. I played my one-string bass in many a trio, and quartet in Cambridge, Mass.
