If you hadn't become such an amazing musician, what do you think you'd be doing right now?

I would become a school teacher. That's what I wanted to be, and getting into music was kind of a long process of errors; I don't know what else to call it. It was just one thing after another that sort of led me into a different path, so sometimes life is like that. But I really enjoy talking with young people. I think knowledge is so exciting. I love to read; I read everything I can get my hands on, but I think you can really inspire first or second or third graders. I think you can really set the tone for what they're going to think of for the next ten years of their formal education. I think it's so important. That's the age group that I would have liked to taugh; grade one and two. When you get them, they're just like putty in your hands, and from my own experience with teaching. Mrs. McCray, my third grade teacher that was just so phenomenal; I never forgot her. She would come up behind me and tell me that I can do anything, that my little plasticine guy was really good, and I always though, "You're kidding!". I never forgot it. I had a great music teacher named Judy Humphries, that just inspired me. She made us all sing at the top of our lungs, even if we were bad. She was the first teacher to square dance with if nobody picked you as their partner. Everyone wanted to dance with her. You'd think, " I hope I get Mrs. Schneider. I hope I don't get that guy picking his nose; I hope I get Mrs. Schneider." So, they do leave an impression. Because I know that there was teachers that were crappy that I remember not as well, but that just didn't seem to care as much about the kids. That would've been fun.
