Thank you Peter, Debra, and Arne for this moment to ponder "Life's Silhouette" together but from different vantage points. 

Silhouette

Like the fjord, edging my eye
Material reward can pass me by.
Ice to sea, slowly but sure,
Floating free, flowing pure.
Whispered smile, bears no regret,
Ponder a while, on life’s silhouette.

Solace of breeze, whiffles my hair.
All at ease, by waters fair.
Mirrored of cloud, sparkled of sun,
Where two is a crowd, I’ve a table for one.
Nature’s fine art, devoid of defect,
Embraces my heart, through life’s silhouette.

Treasured time, in mind’s recall.
Love sublime, in its rise and fall.
Flickered glints from glistened waves
Fall distinct, and light the way.
As morning rays shall yet reflect,
Of peaceful days in life’s silhouette.

Silhouette.  Debra Buesking. 1234567890. Oddrun Eikli.

It's always a pleasure and an honor to add to David's beautiful guitar compositions. This is (for me) a somewhat melancholy glance back at summer and a looking forward to what is to come: the crackle of a woodfire and the different ways the sunlight plays on the floors during the autumn season. I love the changing of the seasons and I thank my Creator for this pleasure.

Bittersweet Goodbye: David Dunham & Debra Buesking

My best attempt at imitating Mr. Satie (with a twist).
This is a tweak of an older work.  My sincere thanks to David Dunham for his generosity in mastering my track.   @david-dunhamuser589535203

Satie in Blue

An early Christmas present in my stocking!
Recently I awoke to a SC link in my mailbox.  What is this??!! To my utter delight, Oddrun, Arne & Peter surprised me with this wonderful musical gift.  The original piano track was to be a "someday" project between Oddrun and me, but this is triple the fun!  Thank you Oddrun, Arne and Peter not only for remodeling my orphan track, but more importantly for this wonderful gift of friendship.

Evenings With You

As usual…. you’re running late
How long can it take?
To run a brush through your hair, pull on some clothes?
You can talk ….. just look at your state
You made a big mistake
If you think you’re going out with me, dressed in those!
Why…. these are nearly brand new
Give a decade or two
Might concede their first wash is a tad overdue
My dear sweetheart
They’re simply falling apart
Rather, I have to say, just like you
Hmmm…let’s give the restaurant a miss,
Call this evening a day, waddaya say
We pull the blinds, chill the wine, book our sofa for two
Now there’s a plan…..kick off these shoes
Pan the dining out blues
Stayin’ in for …..evenings with you

…..evenings with you…..

Evenings With You. Oddrun, Arne, Peter & Debra

Leaving Rome (Orchestral Version)

Composed by Debra Buesking
Piano: Debra Buesking
Orchestration: Stefan Kraft
Watch the Video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/4aMP70HIFqM

When I heard this piano piece by Debra Buesking for the first time, it touched me deeply. It then inspired me to accompany her piano with an orchestral arrangement.

This instrumental piece evokes the elegance and depth of a bygone era, where emotions are conveyed not through words, but through the gentle flow of music. With tender piano melodies and a touch of wistful romance, it paints a picture of unspoken love, fleeting glances, and hearts entwined by fate. Melancholic yet filled with hope, this composition is a musical reflection of longing, passion, and the beauty of memories that never fade.

Thank you Debra for your inspiring music! @debra_buesking

In celebration of our recent SNOWFALL I am being lazy here with my sidekick Jeffy. (He makes sure I get enough rest!)
Yes. I know my track is short. Someone once told me that it's better too short than too long and I have to say I agree.
Thanks to David Dunham for his constant & generous help in mastering my tracks.

Because I am pretending that spring is a gentle thing.  Actually it can be quite violent--but I'm in charge of this music so it's gentle. :)

Dedicated most especially to L.K.A.--our new little grandson so freshly arrived from the face of God.

Oh, that all children were loved.

Let Nature Embrace you.

Wrapped in red, orange and blue
The little baby in mothers arms
Tiny white jasmin growing in her garden
Mother Nature dressed in spring
From magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue

Let Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Life`s colors flow from gold to umber
In crocuses, Petunias
In Asters and in Pansies
A thousand shades of reds
In yellows and in brown
From Magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue




May Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Gently: Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking

Best described as eclectic, my style is a soothing mix mirroring my personality: mostly mellow with the occasional outburst. Although I have a background in classical piano I have always loved to create and improvise.  Since early childhood I have been trying to duplicate on the piano what I hear in my head.  Now I see how formal studies and improvisation fit together perfectly. I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all my endeavors. Thank you for your kind listening.

Thank you for listening and for your comments.
Music is Magic:)
