Simeon, I can tell you right now that I would love to be like you when I grow up..Im still in high school and I was thinking ahead to my future and how would I be able to mix my bass life together with a degree in Engineering and working as a civil engineer..I never thought that there would be a gospel bassist who can do that..But I was wrong..You are one..Hopefully I be like you some day..
