You know, there is a reason they call it the ‘Golden’ Gate bridge…

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 7…

  What is enough? What is too much? When is art finished? How can you tell when it is done? Less can be more… More isn’t always better. A song is as much about the silences, the pauses, the single … Continue reading
