      Thank you so much for sharing!

      Hi Seikan,
      Thank you very much! And not at all! Most of my influences are the classical composers; Beethoven, Bach etc. but I am trying to expand into more contemporary composers and pieces when I can. The start of this for me, and some people
      laugh a little, but was Yanni. His style and way of playing I find very captivating, and he also taught himself and developed his own style, which I admire. For years I actually didn’t listen to a lot of music so as not to be influenced as much and to try to reach my own creative core, so to speak. But I am very happy to have a piano again and look forward to exploring and creating more!

      Gassho,

        Thank you everyone for watching, for your support, and for all the kind words! That means a lot to me… as an artist, I tend to be my own worst critic!
        I am so very glad that you all enjoyed it! Thank you all so very much!

            I recently recorded this little piece of a larger piece that I wrote years ago. I recently acquired an electric piano, and have started to play again after many years… I am starting to remember my old pieces which is nice and look forward to writing more! Bion asked me to share this here, so I hope you all enjoy! (Please pardon any “grace notes” as my fingers are just starting to move again!)

                It’s so sad to watch the world’s conflicts. There’s such a lack of common sense.​“ - Kodo Sawaki Roshi - To You (Page 66)
