Thank you so much, Janice and Bud. It's so nice to read such kind words. My own background used to be in classical music, so I was lucky enough to hear great pianists play sublimely on a regular basis. It's very different to try to write non-classical for me ... different rules, etc. For one, one must be able to say everything in 3 minutes and 30 seconds or so ... in classical, you can develop, etc., for as long as you like, really. Very different rules of writing, etc., too (of course). But that's why I (try to) do it - because classical, at times, gets (I personally feel) a little too wrapped up in itself and forgets what it's like to communicate a short, incredible song in but a few minutes and then gracefully retire. I'm still working on writing such a song, of course - but I'm really happy that you liked this effort of mine :-) I may even try to write more for piano! :-) Who knows. THANKS!!!
