SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I served a long apprenticeship as a musician before I became celebrated. I was 26 before I had a hit record. I'd spent the previous 16 years learning how to be a musician, teaching myself to play an instrument, finding a band, playing in bands, learning to play different kinds of music. That apprenticeship is something I value greatly because it makes me appreciate my lifestyle now."
