Exhaustion And Madness

A poignant duet between piano and cello that travels between sadness and optimism

A Moment Alone [Reflective Piano and Cello]

A scene from the short film by David Birdsell.  The henchmen's plot to steal a car is interrupted by an naive, angelic boy, bouncing a ball down the street, which allows the middle-aged and melancholy "blue man" to drive away without incident.  Followed by more intriguing plot developments, of course!
