Candlelight in the Rain
on: October 04, 2011, 03:09:58 AM
The power went out one night during a rainstorm, so I just sat and improvised while watching the flicker of the lights and listening to the rain outside....

Thanks guys! I actually don't improvise like this that often, where it's just sort of free form, in the moment. It was quite enjoyable =)

WOW!  That is beautiful.  I was dancing on the keys on top of your fingertips!  Amazing, to say the least.  Good thing it rains a lot there!
Come to my house so we can do a windstorm!
I wear my heart on my sleeve.  Don't touch my shirt!  Coined by yours truly, flyinfingers
