I love how you're going to, you're going to say this with caveat.

Like I did think about this for 10 hours today.

What's your answer for the kindest thing?

The one that's coming up for me is my mom buying me a drum kit when I was five years old.

You know what it's like to buy a drum kit for a five-year-old kid in a 130-year-old house, farmhouse in Maine?

You're listening to me trying to learn, listening to just smash drums, which I played all the way until I went to college.

And my mom would sit in

The kitchen, doing grading papers and doing stuff that she had to do for work or making dinner, just listening to it and loved it.

Watched my whole musical journey and always supported it.

But yeah, crazy move for a parent.

Just tortured herself.

She really loved it.

I've always been fascinated with business and with music.

When I wanted to go to college for business, she really discouraged me from choosing a path that didn't include music in some way.

And it ended up that way.

Thanks, man.
