I think losing your mom is one of the hardest hits in life you will ever take. Spouses and children are right up there too.

My mom just passed after 96 years on this planet, back in February.

So I can relate a bit to what you're going through right now.

Nice peaceful and reflective song. A fitting tribute.

Thanks Herb. Indeed, there is none like one's mom.

Love your tagline BTW - it's the secret to songwriting IMO.

Don ...

Very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My mom died 2 years ago in February. She was 90 years old.

This is so very pretty and a wonderful piece to celebrate your mother's time here on Earth. That was a wonderful listen ... thanks! Best to you and your family.

Hi, Don !


I am also sorry for your loss !
(That goes for Herb too) !!
I lost my dear wife for 42 years
4 years ago and I will never
completely get over it ! Time
is the only thing that can ease
the pain at least to some extent !

I can relate to your feelings, they
do reveal themselves with your beautiful
tribute !

Take care !

Dani

Nice tribute to your mom-sweet and melancholy. Nicely done music. I would put a little reverb on the sax and drums to create a little space. Nice work. Take care. Greg

This is a fantastic tribute to your mom. My mom passed away last September at the age of 96 so I can feel your pain.

May God bless you during this difficult time.

Lovely composition. It conveyed the sadness of loss, but that sax also expressed the joy of living.

My condolences. Wishing you peace.
