This is music that happened when I thought about my dear friend Leejay Rudenjak, who had passed earlier in the day. I heard a melody, and improvised the rest based on what I felt from his memory. He will be missed so much, but he is in a better place now, without horrible pain and suffering. R.I.P Leejay, my brother from another mother.

It came to me suddenly, so I quickly grabbed my phone, and put it on the piano and started playing- so the audio quality is not the best- I added some effects, since the music/melody I initially heard was from a distance, and sounded like it was playing in a large hall far away...

In The Distance (for LR)

“The first take, the fairies, imps, and elves carry you. After that, you’re on your own.”- Peter Riccio (The Sawtelles, Lys Guillorn & The Void Kittens)

Another first take magic take, & Lys told me the quote from her band mate which is absolutely how I feel.

I drove to Connecticut to record with Lys on a beautiful Sunday , road trips are fun for me , especially when you get to play music & eat some of Lys’s homemade bread & stew.

Lys had given me a whole playlist of songs to choose from, but I heard Holy Ghost from Low & fell in love.
I hope Mimi can hear , wherever she is ❤️

I will be doing more, there is one spot I need to change the lyrics to make it better.

Any comments from songwriters welcome.
I'll keep it up for a couple of weeks or so, then do another version of it.
