- The Complete Collection And Then Some...
I am a musician. My passion for music has obliterated everything in its path for my entire life. Whenever there was a choice between music and anything else, music won hands down every time. No one person or material thing could ever come close to the feeling I get when the music is right. From "Sweet Life - Adventures On The Way To Paradise" by Barry Manilow
