Someone once wrote that musicians are touched on the shoulder by God, and I think it's true. You can make other people happy with music, but you can make yourself happy too. Because of my music, I have never known loneliness and have never been depressed.
A low pick but it was a quick read. The characters were good. Made me remember my trip to Savannah and Tybee Island a few years ago. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
