ROOTZIE

Bio:

.. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I've been do'n my current musical focus (ROOTZIE) for about 5 years. One of the most important lessons I've learned is to keep move'n forward let'n go of all attachments to outcome.Through creative think'n I manifest ways to make things work learn'n to trust my process along the way. I now know how to speak for what I need, I know what I want musically, and will not be moved from that place... ROOTZIE MEANS ROOTED, CANNOT NOT BE MOVED!!!!!!!

"I love bring'n different players to performances"!!! They're all listed under Musicians in this bio. These very talented, creative musicians have at various times gifted their time and talents to the creation of ROOTZIE ENERGY. I am thankful and I cherish "Blessed" connection with each one of these gifted musicians.
