What is music to you? What does it give you?

A basic living, friendship, permanent creative outlet, meeting new people, organising nigbts and teaching guitar, the joy of singing, writing and playing. Best of all - festivals and hanging out with Sweeney Astray. I don't really do anything except music, promote online, read books, drink coffee and go running.
