In journalism school, what they want you to be is a camera. A trained, objective, detached professional. Accurate, polished, and observant.

Either that, or I would probably be in jail. Or dead.

Naturally and unconsciously we joined into what I call a musical necessity-the chemistry that brings out the essence of the characters and the work.
