Every so often, I come across a photograph that I know I wouldn't have cared much about years ago.

Nothing dramatic is happening. The light may not be spectacular. There may not even be an obvious subject, as I once expected a photograph to have one. And yet I keep looking at it.

That has been happening to me more often lately...

Not long ago, someone told me that the music I was creating was basically a waste of time. It made me think about photography and music, and what makes either one worth creating.

I've been working on a little project I call Music From the Doctor's Office. It started simply enough. I spend more time than I would like sitting in doctors' offices, waiting rooms, and medical appointments, and sometimes musical ideas come to me while I'm there. Instead of letting those ideas disappear, I started turning some of them into finished pieces.

I never expected them to become hit songs. I wasn't trying to build a new career around them. I wasn't sitting there thinking about how many people might listen or whether there was a market for what I was creating.

I was making music because I enjoyed making music...
