Une Fantaisie Opus 19

Proud to present my collaboration with Mark J Bennett (@markjbennett for more lovely music). 

Thanks so much Mark for creating such wonderful melodies and lyrics which describe the hardships of being in a long distance relationship in these crazy times. I am super happy with what we've created here.

I'd like to dedicate this song to my lovely Annie, I am so happy we are to be reunited soon! I love you.

Lyrics:
Nothing comes close to being close to you.

Suffering from this hunger,
Can’t go on much longer.
Hearing us on the same song,
Helps me stay sane and strong.

Nothing comes close to being close to you.

So far and yet so close,
But our love always shows.
Even though we are apart,
I can feel your heart.

Nothing comes close to being close to you.

A long distance affair,
How I wish I was there.
Distance lends enchantment,
Out of this confinement.

Nothing comes close to being close to you.

Nothing Comes Close (Wane of Summer & Mark J Bennett)

Send In The Clowns

AMBROSIA COAST

Driving down the coast road
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Oh can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

They came in in inflatables
But they weren’t looking for Ingrid’s hat
We spent some money dressing up the corpse
No-one had learned a move like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

But we don’t wanna see where the birdie goes

Give me emotion (bow-wow-wow)
Lend me the potion (bow-wow-wow)
Rub me in lotion (bow-wow-wow)
Give me the motion (bow-wow-wow)
We need ambrosia
Because it’s cosier
Feed the gods with that bowl 
Feed the gods with that bowl, there...

Driving down the coast road 
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
But can we do it tonight? (bow-wow-wow)
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight? 
Bow-wow-wow

Ingrid's Hat

Ambrosia Coast

I witnessed a miracle--at least I would call it that.  A beloved rose that was a regular bloomer(pictured) fell victim to the incredibly harsh cold spell we had last February.  By April when the rest of the roses were waking up, this one had not a sign of life in it, just a brown stump.  I watered, and fed, and waited, and waited.  Nothing.  I dug out the stump.   For Mothers' Day my daughter had bought a rose to replace the one that had perished...or so I thought.  Within a week of planting the new one, the old one put out a shoot just a foot away.  I guess the digging, watering, etc for the new rose stimulated some remaining root of the old.  It has since received lots of love and care, and has at least a half-dozen buds ready to bloom in a couple of weeks.  So this is an ode; to a beloved rose and all things miraculous.  UPDATE:   Here is the rose blooming in October 2021. 
Special thanks to Pat Howell for the initial inspiration and his fine musicianship and sweet additions with mandolin and octave.  Please check out his page for more fine music @patrick-howell-786748109

Another song written by Patrick Zelinski and the strings (violin and cello) are written and arranged by me. It ended up very beautiful, thanks to Ryan and Roxane. And Patrick of course for his brilliant guitar play!

Miles To Walk - with Patrick Zelinski (feat. Ryan Dimmock and Roxane Genot on Violin and Cello)

The Classic Cowboy Song.  A slow spare version.  I originally intended to do a different recording of this but I think I'll leave it as it is, bare bones and all.  
I have a long time affection for this song as we used to sing it in grade-school.  I was reminded of it recently because I can see a herd of buffalo from my dining-room window.  Thanks as always for listening.  Debbie

Rēs Quaesita

the title on this song seems fitting today as an american inauguration takes place. hopefully a turbulent, stormy era is subsiding and a new beginning is unfolding on january 20th.

the orchestration is by guillaume pearson, guitar arrangement by naldo. the full title of the original song by hitoshi yasui of chairhouse is: "the sweet breath of spring played amidst its branches". his beautiful piano version can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/the-sweet-breath-of-spring-played-amidst-its-branches-2448-by-chair-house-08272020

Sweet Breath of Spring

Hello, and welcome to my piano world!   I thrive on tweaking old favorites and writing original compositions as well as continuing with more formal studies.  My style reflects my personality: mostly mellow with a surprising twist of the knife here and there.  I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all I do.
