by Anightowl

I have had classical piano lessons since I was a very very small girl. My mother was an opera singer, & her mother played every night as the "music entertainment" @ what is now known as a bed & breakfast. It was then known as a boarding house. All three of us kids started lessons around the age of three or four. My brother stills plays beautifully. Growing up, we moved many many times. One of the greatest solaces of my life both then & now is my absolute love of music. All kinds of music interests me, & I will try to play them all on the piano.It was only in the last few years that I have started composing. The composing came to me naturally, almost without my conscious thought. You will find some of my compositions here. I also write lyrics in the form of poetry. Several soundcloud artists have set a number of them to music. (Thank you Fritz)I hope that you enjoy my music, & if you would like to play along, come & tell me what kind of music you would like, & we can see if it

    This song is by Willie Nelson & it is a song I love, but playing it reminds me of this quote by Pink Floyd Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is...
