My musical journey began at age four, I was the pursuer, music the pursued. Later, my musical palette and maturity developed, and I wondered about music’s origin and pursued the Creator of music. Streams fed musical soil which, in turn, nurtured growth. A tiny seed can grow into something immensely fruitful. Streams know to worship the Creator of water, not the water. “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God” (Psalm 46:4a).
