This is a little gem. It speaks its own simple truth succinctly and beautifully, in means unfettered by complexity, learning or ostentation. It is written from the heart and to the heart. I kept wanting to hear it every hour or two, so I downloaded it from youtube onto my desktop.

I usually like to make my own mental images with music, but in this case the association with your wonderfully evocative painting is so strong it perplexes me.

Ted,

Thank you for your fine comments. Yes some pieces are in the category of less is more, just like Beethoven's first movement of the moonlight.
You don't have to yell to say what you want, you dont even have to say it fast, the meaning can be found in the low voice, a simple gesture from within.

Regards,

Saul
