 I have many young mentors. In the Native American culture, an elder traditionally is a status you've achieved based upon how you've lived your life. ... I've tried to find elders in the traditional sense but from all walks of life. I look for people I can take wisdom from, people of all ages.

 The best thing about steel drumming is that it is really easy to start. Not everyone may have an opportunity in life to learn the violin, flute, or even the piano. Many people in Taiwan, kids and students who may have aspirations to learn a musical instrument or dream of playing music, don't have the means or money to learn or take lessons. In contrast, steel drumming would be a nice option. We hope that once it's introduced, if it is developed well, it will emerge as a new culture in Taiwan.

 You see out there, that you make people happy. You see them dancing, smiling, having a great time and they know the lyrics.
