Dear Sonni, I am deeply moved by your story and the endless suffering you have to endure and yet with your attitude you used the time to create something special that will always remain.."your music" you tell us everything "joy, suffering " in your fantastic performance... I would like to thank you for your music.. and wish you only the best time without pain.. all we have left is hope..!! Greetings Peter 🌍 ☮︎ 👍

No matter when or how many times I listen to this your beautiful piece, it speaks to my heart. I hope your all pain eases.

brilliant playing goes without question  ;), but I enjoyed the accompanying instrumentation on this as well. lovely stuff.

It reminds me I am alive. I so appreciate the ability to make music!

Very emotional. I hope you wake up a little better every day.

I am in increasing pain every day because my spine is a mess. Playing the piano is one of the most painful things I do. It sucks the oxygen out of the room. I don't let it beat me. The day before I recorded this I had steroid shots in my mid back, hoping it would give me a little relief. That day I had no pain. I sat at the piano for 5 hours working on music because it was such a joy. It lasted for a day and a half.  It was supposed to be weeks. anyone with chronic pain for years knows what this is like. I can only lay back on pillows for so many hours each day. I am not complaining. It is what it is. Arthritis in my hands would be worse and I have none of that. But this day - this one day was wonderful. I had asked the doctor for one day. That is what I got. W.e have to fight for the things we love.Music gives me the energy to keep going,  Who knows what these hands will produce. I don't have to be the best. I need only be the best I can be.

No Pain

My music pieces are all piano improvisations expressing emotions. It is music telling stories without the words. In my earIy years I sang and played piano in piano bars or fronted bands  I've been composing, teaching and performing most of my life.  I'm getting old(er) now 😔 but the great thing about creating music is it gets better the longer you play, and you have more to write about! 

This is what I leave of me to my generations to come who wonder where their desire to make music comes from. My mother also played. I learned recently that my grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My great grandmother sang and danced in minstrel shows in the early 1900's. I know have great-grandchildren. They will know who I am through my music. When I am gone my music will still be here. What a wonderful thought!
