I had the opportunity to attend a concert given by the son of a friend of mine. I didn't know what to expect, really, but what I heard was rather magical. The pianist's name is Phil Cook, and his album is now available here. I've found it to be just the balm I need in this midst of all the craziness of this world. It is titled, "All These Years".

Being able to enjoy a Concert and just lose myself in the music would be wonderful. In this world where my family is facing changes. I hope this week at least gets back to some sort of normal life behavior for us.
ReplyDeleteThe album I mentioned contains most of the music we heard at the concert. It is really lovely to get lost in it. I'm listening to that in lieu of the news when I'm in the car, especially. Far more beneficial to the spirit!
DeleteNice action shots!
ReplyDeleteMusic can truly be balm for the soul. It is why I love opera so much--the music and pageantry transports me to a different world for a few hours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event to be able to attend. Thank you for sharing and for hosting each week.
ReplyDeleteI am listening to the series of preview samples of Phil's works as I write this. Peaceful and soothing music indeed. My daughter's family here in my new Connecticut home has a beautiful Baby Grand and I have started playing it again after almost 20 years. I play by ear and have mostly played guitars since living in New Mexico in the 1990's. Before Christmas we would travel between the several little churches in the mountains and play Las Posadas followed by dinner in the various villages. Now my rusty fingers are starting to loosen up on the ebony and ivory.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
DeleteAs for Phil Cook's music, I found it delightful!
Thank you for this thoughtful post and God bless all of you
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing event. Sure that was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time, dear Blogfriend.
That's wonderful! Music often helps me through the day when I am not feeling better. Beautiful photos. Thank you for the link and for hosting!

There goes one talented young man. I'm pleased that his music did you good Sue. And once again, thanks for the chance to meet with others.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI think that would be lovely - yes, music is very good for the soul. Look after yourself, it's a huge thing that you will never get over. All you can do is make it as easy on yourself as you can - which will take time and effort. You are often in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the piano, I had lessons when I was younger and wish now that I'd kept up with them.
ReplyDeleteYes, the world has gone crazy. Especially when our personal worlds have been upended too. So nice to find a place away from it all. Take care, enjoy your week, and thank you again for the link up.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Loved the post.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful event, Sue!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
