The unknown drives me forward and inspires me. The quest for the sound of surprise that may be over the next horizion keeps me going. The hope that I can improve myself and give something to someone which could delight them and/or provoke some thoughtfulness. There's a long list of techniques and ideas I would like to explore and cultivate. Playing with and for other musicians is also a major inspiration.

I'm very happy to come to Austin and to meet you. Before I came here, I had not enjoyed traveling in America. I couldn't speak English well, so I couldn't enjoy anything. But thanks for your kindness, I enjoyed my stay. Thank you very much.

I wish I could speak English well.
