What is holding you back? No, it isn’t!
The response to yesterday’s article was amazing, and the feedback mirrored my own thoughts and feelings. There are those who overcome so much to play their music…and by comparison, very little stands in our way.
If yesterday’s amazing demonstration didn’t jar you into action on your instrument, perhaps this one will. PTM reader Dan Kieffer turned me onto the story of Patrick Henry Hughes, a talented and inspiring young man who has just become my hero. He and his family exemplify the values of music, love, family tragedy and triumph, and everything else that we all talk about at length, but so seldom demonstrate with any conviction. The video tells it best.
To Patrick and his family: thank you for all you do. Without even trying or intending to do so, you are an inspiration. Play on!
All the best,
Mark
