Ah...the sad waltz is certainly your forte (piano) my friend - simply splendid!

I hear this as the accompaniment to a whimsical scene in an old silent movie. Really nice piano work!

I really enjoyed listening to your waltz...

right from the jump the mood is set great work

Merry Christmas! Peace, Love, Health, Joy in 2024!

New Year Piano Concert Live: Mon 1 Jan 2024  @8 PM PST (new time)

As the calendar turns
a page anew
A canvas of dreams
washed in hues..

Gratitude arises
with the dawn
A symphony of hope
a melody drawn..

With prayers
as our guiding light
We step into the future
a wondrous sight.

Sorry I have many medical appointments and issues these days... not here much..

Here I took the basic chords of Last Christmas, made it into minor key and waltz style with rubato.. improvised freely, will change every time I play it.. added many trills and scalar motifs like Chopin. Though the chord progression is repeated, this one is actually the hardest of the three to make and record. The other two came easily for unknown reasons. I also started the ideas for Last Christmas and Silent Night (in the style of Chopin) last year. 'Christmas time is here' I made in a couple days this year.

Last Christmas

Last Christmas (in the style of Chopin)

Merry Christmas 🎄❄️☃️⭐

It's my favourite time of year so I thought I would try and create a festive sounding piece of music! 

A Winter's Tale

David sent me a song he started with his good friend Pat Howell, and asked if I could put my thoughts on it. And it was with some trepidation, knowing that Pat had recently passed away. But a weave of friendship grew as we worked on the song. And today I am very honored that I had the opportunity to share these gentlemen's musical journey, in this song.
Thank you very much dear David for inviting me. ;)

Weave Of Friendship

In music, the term “arabesque” refers to a highly ornamental melody whose free unfolding expresses a slowing of time within the composition. Unlike the straight line, which is the most direct path from A to B, the curving movement of the arabesque creates an effect of circular phrases that conjure perpetual melodies. Debussy referred to "arabesque" as a piece of music with exquisite detail and clear repetitions of ideas and artistic balance. This term is used for various kinds of melodic, contrapuntal, or harmonic ornamentation. Several composers including Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann have used this term as a title for compositions. The term "arabesque" is taken from the Arabic art and architecture which was very ornate. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Arabesque

want you to suffer
I want you to cry
I want you to hurt 
and here is why 

I want you to know 
what its feels  inside 
when all that you loved
 has withered and died

 I want you to learn 
the hard way the though 
because there is no other 
way that you can know

 I want you to hurt 
 like him her  and I    
I want you to cry        
 when you say good bye

you shouldn't play with hearts
 like playing cards
 picking up and dropping 
 when the game gets hard

I want you to feel
a little like me
when you hear the 
name of some one you cant see

now life is hard 
we hurt and cry
 when we wish all 
we  loved …....good bye 

we love love love then  good bye
we hurt hurt  hurt then we cry

From my youth I always wanted to compose something in this style. It's time to finally try :) Music, lyrics and performance - Nadir Shamuhamedov. Special thanks to Jane Johnson for proofreading the text.

I hope, one day, in the blooming May
I'll bring a ring and you'll say "Ok",
My heart will be filled with peace and light,
And flying bees will buzz gently "Right!"

Daisy!
My love made me almost crazy,
Don't let me think so hazy,
Now, oh my love,
Just tell me: "Yes I do…"
You and I
As tea and pie,  
I know, you love me too…

Even if it comes later
Maybe in a year or two,
Spring anyway
Will come and play,
Knowing  what tricks to do.

«Daisy» (in the style of the early Beatles)

Poem that inspired Glen is listed below.

WOKE UP THIS MORNIN'	
THE SNOW WAS FALLIN'	
ICE WAS ON THE WINDOW	
CHILL FACTOR WAS TEN BELOW 	
	
I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO	
WHY WORRY ABOUT THE SNOW	
HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S REST	
I KNOW I'VE BEEN BLESSED 	
	
(CHORUS)	
AS I LOOK AT THE SNOW ON THE LAWN	
ANOTHER YEAR HAS COME AND GONE	
WE ALL HAVE SOME UPS AND DOWNS	
AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND 	
	
I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD	
AND A WARM COZY BED	
SHOES ON MY FEET	
AND PLENTY TO EAT	
	
LIFE IS VERY SHORT, MY FRIEND	
WE NEED TO ENJOY IT TO THE END	
GIVE SOMEONE A HELPIN' HAND	
YOU WILL BE BLESSED, IN THE END 	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)

'true love' 

https://www.instagram.com/p/C3B2inkus95/

I want to give you everything that you deserve.
Although I haven't anything, I have a way with words.
Oh darling won't you come on over and sit next to me.
You can talk about your day, hon, as I'll gently massage your feet. 

I want your love and everything that accompanies.
I'll give you all the love you'll need. I want you to believe
in a love so deep that you can feel it right through to your bones.
And it makes you complete and feel like you are comfortable at home. 

True love.

true love

painting: Sunday Afternoon by Georges Seurat (1886)
The lady in the foreground is walking a monkey?

Lyrics with James Booker

not my monkey

when days burn short
and nights grow long
when hope and dreams
refuse to sing yer song
(return)

good old days
are happening now
cause we're too close
to see what's right and wrong

not my monkey
not my circus
can't step in the 
same river twice

the past and future
on the tip of yer tongue
good old days
are happening now

sky blue
cotton candy summer day
like a Sunday Afternoon 
down the promenade

yeah, she walked past
like perfume in the wind
color, sound and shadow
masterpiece

did angels make the record skip?

not my monkey
