And that thing was music. With his days in senior year running out, Dai swears a heartfelt vow: *“I’m gonna be the best jazz player in the world.”* But what do you need to be the best? Talent? Effort? A lucky break? Or maybe just a deep, pure love for music, and too much stubbornness to know when to quit.
