Quote from: Greeny on December 11, 2020, 08:01:58 AMWell, first of all I'm very sorry to hear that sad news. Life can be so cruel. Finding consolation in music seems like a good idea though. And this is a very poignant and thoughtful piece. Gives me so much of the same mellow vibe as Bob James' 'Taxi' theme, which I've always loved. Maybe it's the flute. It's really great though. That organ and acoustic guitar combo is superb. Beautiful work.

Hi Greeny,  I appreciate your kind words Sir.  I agree, the music really moved me cause at first I was having trouble reacting to my Dad's death as I just felt empty without any emotions.  The act of creating the song opened the dam.

Sorry to hear that Mike, the flute is very expressive and I'm sure your father will like this composition

Thank you.  I try to choose instruments that sound real and I try to play them as realistic as possible (insofar as a keyboardist can).

Sorry for your loss Mike - this is a sad time of year for many people. Like I mentioned on one of Hilary's recent posts, music can be incredibly powerful and can express our feelings in the most powerful way sometimes. This is a beautiful piece, it really soothed me listening. Sending positive vibes your way.

I missed this post 1st time.
Im so sorry for your loss.
As musicians we tend to retreat back into our music zone and its there we express ourselves in our own way.
A lovely tribute to your father.
