During the show I played a beautiful song titled Here In Our Dreams which was written and performed by Brett Boyd and Raj Ramayya and it's on their third Beautiful Losers CD. Brett and Raj wrote the song several years ago but it proves that great music is timeless.
Brett Boyd is a wonderful example of what can happen when you listen to your heart and have the courage to live your music. As Brett said, it's not always easy but the joy you feel – and can give to others – makes it well worthwhile to live the music you hear calling you.
Brett is also an example of how you can have a family, enjoy time with your family, and blend in plenty of time to enjoy playing music.
