My reasons for persuing music start in becoming a great player & move the peg of accomplishment up a notch but more so, revolve around the Psycedelica-Zen lyrics, with a message & path for the seekers of "The Answer". What? No...Why! do we exist, or feel an ecstacy of the mind when we make that un-corroded connection to the "Source", our spirit, however brief & why do we reach for in search of a higher level of awareness & conciousness? The Sages & Masters thru the ages from the ancient to the modern come to the same conclusion, cross culture, socio-economic, ethnic...We just are! And as for why, it appears that we seek "Happiness". I digress, I do just drum too! StabPlastik@shaw.ca : mystic-music420@ www.myspace.com/overlordsoftheuniverse
