Delighted to have been asked to contribute to this fantastic Johnny McFarlane song, another in our growing catalog JD, thank you for trusting me with the vocals, arrangement and production, I hope I have done your song justice.  

Debra's beautiful piano completely transformed the tune but then anything that Debra is on is just 100% better.

Wilhelm Peterson-Berger:
Sommarsång från Frösöblomster Op.16 No 2.

ANY KIND OF COMMERCIAL USE OF THIS RECORDING IS PROHIBITED.
Olof Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1868-1942) studied at the Stockholm Conservatory from 1886–89 and then in Dresden for a year.[2]
He is best known for three albums of national romantic piano pieces entitled Frösöblomster I, II and III (Flowers of Frösö), which includes the often performed Vid Frösö kyrka (At Frösö Church) and Sommarsång (Summer Song). The sets, which were composed over a period of 18 years (1896 - 1914) and brought together afterwards as a collection have gained a reputation of representing a quintessential "Swedishness" in the romantic, nationalistic vein of their time. 
The most famous of the pieces, Sommarsång (Summer Song) recalls the warm, calm, harmonious and bright pre-summer evenings where the sun in the north almost never goes down; they were the great breakthrough for Wilhelm. Sommarsång is still known to most Swedes, even to people generally uninterested in music: the majority of young piano students in the Nordic countries have been taught this piece.

Antonio Bazzini: Dance Of The Goblins ( (La Ronde des Lutins), Scherzo fantastique, Op. 25. Transcribed for  2 Pianos, rand eproduced & recorded by VV Oct.29, 2023 on a slightly modified seq., sequenced by Anonymous,
on a modeled Blüthner Model 1 grand, revoiced, reconfigured, and the rec. setup made by VV.

Photo: Antonio Bazzini  (11 March 1818 – 10 February 1897) was an Italian violinist, composer and teacher. As a composer, his most enduring work is his chamber music, which earned him a central place in the Italian instrumental renaissance of the 19th century. However, his success as a composer was overshadowed by his reputation as one of the finest concert violinists of the nineteenth century. He also contributed to a portion of Messa per Rossini, specifically the first section of II. Sequentia, Dies Irae. (Wikipedia)

Rachel Portman - Passage Of Time (movie: "Chocolat")

The title means "Instable balance" in german, and that's what I feel about - the political situation in the U.S. , which are ruled by mad criminals, making friends with Putin, the most dangerous and reckless man in Europe since Hitler... the ignorance of the climate change... the lack of solidarity and cooperation in our societies... the political situation in my own country, which makes it hard (or at least harder) to simply make music. It took several efforts to complete this tune, that is, though, optimistic and uplifting, I think.
