beautiful music-is beautiful-things
Music is meant to be a beautiful thing.

music people pure rather recently ronnie rooms situations
Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
happened hiatus numb physically somewhat spoke
The hiatus you spoke about happened in 1998. I was somewhat numb from being out on the road every night. I had to stop because I was emotionally and physically drained.
