I know I still have a number of logos to do for the peeps in my hood. But I needed to take a sidestep to say thank-you to my dear Vox neighbour MrsPeel for taking the time to lend some well timed emotional support this last few days. For her comments, for her taking the time to write me a beautiful message, for communicating with me and "getting" me I simply can't say thank you in words. You know, in a previous post about music, art and writing MEK made the very comment that music is a form of higher communication. I agree and have yet to reply to that post myself. In the meantime, I hope that my rendition of Tourna a Surriento does a least a tiny shred of justice to as heartfelt a "thank you" as possible. I apologise if anyone doesn't like violin... and I'm a little out of practice so maybe just turn it on quietly in your headphones (ha!).

I have little time anymore to play piano or violin, but today I found a moment in the sun at my desk to do just that. The comfort was too much to pass up some time to just sit play my grandfather's violin. As soon as I picked it up I found myself switching on the mic's to record this lovely David Richardson Composition: Caliope House. It's a short piece, I heard it played first by Alasdair Fraser, and I simply had to have it in my repertoire. 

Hint hint nudge nudge! If one of my fine guitarist neighbours would like attempt to strum the accompaniment into this short track, well here's the sheet music with some chord suggestions.

Ok, so I'm being daring here and I did the guitar part myself with my limited ability to actually play it or even tune it to the violin. Anyways, I'm still saying anyone is more than welcome to add instruments. Here's Caliope House with Guitar.
