DaughterAndDad - MP3 Audio File
Was working on a gospel arrangement the other evening, and on a break was just playing around. Thought about my friend Randy, who passed away nearly five years ago, and tried to play one of his favorites. I couldn't quite remember it right, and this is what came out instead. I thought it was ok, and played it again to sorta nail it in my head (and turned on the recorder to be sure). All the while I was thinking of my step-daughter Shannon, who had lost her father a couple of days earlier. By the time I finished I was slipping on tear puddles on the keys - a good sign!
An even better sign is that I remembered it the next morning - but I was just now able to put together this little solo piano track. I'll embellish it later - imagine the usual Vangelis/Wakeman treatment (Randy's song was a Vangelis, and he always liked when I attempted to play Wakeman) - I just wanted the girls to have it right away.
Also thinking of my friends Rick and Sheri Jo and their little angel Sadie - there's a wee touch from her in there also....
For Shannon, Starla, Bailey, and Alayna - all my love! Praising God for the gift, for the vision, and for the means to carry it all out!
LOVE LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!
