Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
One of the things I was attached to was my Siamese cat. My father breeder Siamese cats and sold them. Usually, I was not allowed to touch them as kittens. They were for profit only. I think my father got tired of me asking for a cat. And finally gave in and let me have one. He was a Chocolate Point Siamese and I named him Arthur. He became by emotional support pet forever.
Between him and music, it took my mind off what was going on in my life. Arthur finally died of old age, then I turned to music even more to get through my tough spots as a youth.
