I didn’t quit. 

If anyone asks me a secret of my success, I think that would pretty much sums it up. Yes, there are details involved in how I didn’t quit and knowing where I wanted to go and having a dream and believing in myself and all that but when it comes down to it, I didn’t quit.

Believe me. There have been many many times (in hindsight, though) where quitting seemed to be either an unavoidable or a sensible choice. Honestly, I’m still amazed that The Jazz Gallery is still standing and we are doing so much more than just standing. Really.
