Hi Everyone, here is one of the very few recordings I've made of myself on an electronic keyboard.

I made this many years ago....check out my other posts for my more recent work!



This was inspired by my then girlfriend Jamielynn. She had brilliant red hair, hence the title "The Gentlest Fire."

And just like my relationship with her, the piece ends....abruptly!

That's quite interesting.  Very different from your improvs now!  I'll have to compare this with your other one you put up here, to see what's changed.

Hahaha thanks for listening! Though please do listen to my more recent work, it is ever so much better than this little keyboard recording.

In fact, just click on my profile and surf to my website. There's tons of stuff there.
