The transformative power of words and music.Singer-songwriter Dennis Welch shares his journey from a Texas childhood filled with libraries and country music to a creative renaissance that has earned him multiple Grammy ballot considerations in his 60s and 70s. We discuss the pivotal teachers who changed his life path, the moment he almost walked away from music forever, and how dinner with friends in a Mexican restaurant reignited his passion for recording. Dennis offers heartfelt advice on why adult creators should ignore cultural expectations regarding age, the benefits of creative pursuits for mental wellbeing, and the importance of perseverance in the face of uncertainty.You might also like:Purpose, Piano and the Goosebump Compass with Steve GoldbergStrings, Spirituality and Stillness with Jennifer Roig-FrancolíRich Chambers keeps rockingSupport the showFollow @CreativityFoundPodcast on InstagramWant to be a guest on Creativity Found?
