Past experiences that help you at TallCat?

Life Mottos?
My elementary band teacher told me very early in life and it’s had a profound effect on me: “Practice makes permanent, not perfect.”
I like to be as light hearted as I can be but, you can lead a horse to water but, a bear can s@$# in the woods.
Everyday that I get the privilege of coming to such a fantastic place to do business with people that are some of the most kind and humble humans I’ve ever met I go home satisfied and ready for the next day. Let music take the wheel and steer life for a bit.
