Why aren't you a candidate for surgery?

This is amazing, Eric. You didn't read music, and you made it all the way from there, starting out college, all the way to Juilliard, and to become at least my very favorite composer.

Can you please try and explain the steps that you took to make it from your beginnings to Juilliard, or even now?

I'm first year in college, and I'm a professional classical musician and vocalist, and I'm extremely interested in composing, and listening to your pieces, both Choral and Instrumental have been a great inspiration to me. Getting to Juilliard has always been a dream that's been seemingly out of reach, and the thought that I may never be there to learn as you have hurt me, but reading this gives me new-found hope.

Thank you very much for doing this AMA.

And that's more so because, you wouldn't want to go through the whole ordeal again, and if he did get caught again, he wouldn't have learned from the experience? Not because having child pornography took a toll on your relationship, in and of itself?
