I thought I had commented on this composition David but it appears not. What a beautiful piece of music as to mourn such a tragic despicable story.

missed this one somehow (thanks Tony)  -- very pretty tune apart from the event

What a sensational and beautiful piece. You have captured something here. Nicely done.

A beautiful song and a beautiful tribute.

Such a thought inspiring musical voyage. Brilliant.

I love this indescribably fascinating melodies and harmonies…! I can feel something special from the intro…

Such a wonderful tribute and musical moment to the memory of little Athena.

This is a song about the color Purple which has a fascinating history from ancient times.  It was the color of kings and royal pageantry.  In its purest form it was the rare dye extracted from a particular type of snail, requiring thousands to produce enough dye to color a handkerchief.  It is remembered that Jesus, during his passion, was draped in a purple robe as a means of mockery.
Purple was also the favorite color of Athena Alexandria Brownfield (9/6/2018-12/25/2022) a little girl who tragically died on Christmas day, the victim of extreme neglect. The details are too painful to relate here, but felt compelled to write this song and make a video--my first--to memorialize her life; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z7GZF2BO90
A very special thank you to Debbie Buesking for sharing my vision of the song and for adding some very delicate and poignant phrases.  More of her beautiful composing and playing can be heard @debra_buesking.

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.
