I remember feeling for the first time going somewhere where I was part of a community where I didn't feel like an outcast. I felt like I belonged. Everyone had a guitar strapped to their back.
If someone is feeling out of sorts or detached it's a great time to bring them in and restate why we are here and what we are trying to do.
Out of Berklee Dream Theater was born and we've been together ever since. I didn't have to taste that feeling of defeat.
