This piece of piano was created on "A Sunday in November" - a very open title which maybe enables you let flow your own, personal thoughts. I hope you enjoy :-) As the titel indicates it´s still a rough draft, means not professional recorded. I hope it will follow next year! ;-)

A Sunday in November (rough draft)

721 - In Pictures

Condamné à rimer (Prod. Skedy)

Here's an original Spanish Flamenco tune I wrote and recorded.  All done on keyboards.  This is dedicated to my favorite three flamenco inspired players - Paco de Lucia, Al DiMiola and Dan van den Berg, along with my former jazz teacher Emily Remler.

This song is dedicated to anyone who has devoted their time, and money, blood sweet and tears to writing and performing music of any genre. I have performed many many years, and it still excites me when I complete a new song. It also makes it all worth it when someone comes up to me after a show and tells me how much one of my songs touched them. It makes it all worth it.

We all take some time
To settle on in
Get comfy in our own skin

We try to be cool
We try to out shine
We like to think this world is mine
All mine

Well now I’m a little bit older
I find it’s all right
To just be me
And you be you

I might not be a rock star
Might not ever go too far 
From this moment with you

But no matter how far I travel
I’m sliding into my comfortable shoes
My comfortable shoes

If I’m not a rock star
In my comfortable shoes
Don’t worry
If that’s the truth
I won’t sing the blues
As long as I can sing to you
To you

On the front porch
Swinging with you
Knowing life’s secret truths
It’s the little things

Laughter and loving
Caring and hugging 
Holding on to you
And sliding into my comfortable shoes
My comfortable shoes

Poem: by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

Three verses from her poem Stars.

ah, why because the dazzling sun
restored our earth to joy
have you departed , every one,
and left a desert sky

oh stars ,and dreams and gentle night
oh, night and stars return!
and hide me from the hostile light,
that does not warm, but burn.

I turned the pillow, then,
to call back night, and see
Your worlds of solemn light, again,
Throb with my heart, and me!

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.
