FMM079 – Letting your chance slip through your fingers

You can either have results or excuses, not both Time – it’s something that’s all around us, is always with us, and something that can easily run away from us. Or at least that’s what lots of people think. “I haven’t got the time to do this”, “I’m too old to start now”. These are…

FMM073 – Infinite Creativity

“There’s never an end to being a creative. There’s never an end to music” As much as we’d all like to think so, you can’t win at music. You can’t win at art. And you can’t win at life. It just doesn’t work like that, so why do so many of us treat our music…
