"When the root is strong, the fruit is sweet."
Jamaican Musician
1945 - 1981
How well do you know your roots? On what other artists is your art build on? Who are the artists who have influenced you? On whose shoulders are you standing? An artist needs to understand the history of his art. He needs to know his roots.
How strong are your roots? How deep are your roots? Without roots the tree dies. Without roots the plant withers. Without roots there is no fruit. Don't ignore your roots. Don't ignore the traditions from which you come. Are you watering your roots? Are you growing as an artist? Are you in touch with your roots?
