Lindsey Liden has had quite a few creative step-stones in his life. He has played full drum kit for a punk band, painted huge colorful wall paintings that couldn't even fit into his car, worked in various restaurant kitchens, toured as a fiddle player and completed a university degree in classical percussion. Little did he know that all steps would lead to his now career as a banjo builder and fine woodworker. Though he now has a working studio next to his wife's ceramic studio, and just across the field from my very own studio (did I mention he is my brother?), the path has not always been clear and easy for him. His story is one of wanting the creative life so badly that he is truly up for doing all it takes to stay true to his creative path. He reminds us to embrace what we're good at and to find a way to use it as an asset of our work rather than fighting against our natural selves. Hurdles and struggles are part of what every one of us experiences. The main thing is to keep moving forward and to know that you are building on something big and it's going to take a life time to do it, so make sure to enjoy the ride.

Your Quote for the Day:

"There is no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.” “I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” 

~Lewis Carroll
