I’ve been playing the piano for 56 years. At 60, my life was a symphony composed of the melodies that had poured from my fingertips since I was four. The grand piano that stood in our living room was more than just an instrument—it was a witness to my joys, my struggles, and everything in between. But now, the music was gone, replaced by a haunting silence. It all started one crisp autumn morning. Jack, my husband of 35 years, woke up complaining of a headache. We thought it was just fatigue, but within hours, he was rushed to the hospital. The diagnosis was swift and brutal: a massive stroke. The world as I knew it shattered. I remember sitting by his hospital bed, holding his hand, hoping against hope that the man who had been my rock would somehow pull through. He didn’t. The silence that followed his death was deafening. Our home, once alive with music and laughter, became a hollow echo of what it had been. The grand piano, which had always been a source of comfort, now seemed to mock me with its emptiness. My fingers, once so familiar with the keys, now trembled and faltered when I tried to play. The notes that used to flow effortlessly now stumbled and died, like an old friend who had lost its way. Days turned into weeks, and the weight of grief became unbearable. I wandered through the house, feeling Jack’s absence in every corner, in every room where his presence had once been so strong. I stopped playing the piano altogether. It felt like a betrayal, a mockery of the life we had shared. The silence was more comfortable, more fitting for the void that had settled in my heart. As time dragged on, I realized I couldn’t keep living in this hollow shell of a life. My daughter, seeing my despair, gently encouraged me to seek help. Reluctantly, I began attending a support group for people dealing with loss. It was there that I started to confront my grief, to talk about the overwhelming sadness that had taken over my life. In those meetings, I listened to others who had experienced similar losses. Their stories were heartbreaking, but they also offered glimpses of hope. I learned that grief was not something to be fixed but something to be understood and lived with. I began to see that my silence, though painful, was part of the healing process. One day, after months of avoidance, I found myself drawn back to the piano. It was a hesitant, almost fearful approach. I sat at the bench and rested my fingers on the keys, feeling their coolness, their solidity. I played a few notes, then a few more, and realized that the music was still there, buried beneath the layers of grief. It was not the same as before—my touch was lighter, more cautious—but it was a start. Slowly, I began to play again. It was as if I was rediscovering the piano all over again. The music was different now; it was tinged with the sadness and the lessons I had learned, but it was beautiful in its own way. Playing became a form of meditation, a way to connect with Jack’s memory and my own resilience. The melodies that had once been effortless now carried the weight of my experiences, but they also carried a new depth and understanding. Returning to the piano wasn’t about erasing the past; it was about integrating it into my present. The silence that had once felt so oppressive became a space for reflection and growth. The music I played now had a new richness, a testament to the journey I had undergone. In the end, I realized that the piano was more than just a source of joy—it was a means of navigating through the pain, of finding new ways to express what was in my heart. Through the notes and chords, I found a way to honor Jack’s memory and to continue living, to continue playing.
So here I am, at the grand piano once more, letting the music flow through me. Each note is a tribute to what was lost and what has been gained. It’s a reminder that while the pain of loss may never fully disappear, it can be transformed into something beautiful, something that continues to resonate long after the silence has passed.

[robertervin]

Another one of YouTube’s hidden gems. It’s a shame more people haven’t heard this

This is a gift from heaven for a weary world. I love this guy, and pray he lives a log life.

This song is so beautiful and soft, yet so powerful. This is how the piano is meant to be played ♡

[connieprudhel]

The intensity that lies within your fingers to hit those piano keys are far from calming what lies within your soul. The song is beautiful. Your piano is great, but I hear your soul as your fingers hit those keys. Beautiful as it sounds

[dandersoncrew]

Wow! Just wow! My 11-year-old son plays piano and has been so inspired by the beauty of your playing! He told me - "Mom - you must listen to this! I promise you will never regret it!" He was right. Thank you for conveying such beauty of emotion through your songs!

Besides the human voice I think the piano is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments

Плохой музыки не бывает Она идёт от души У каждого Музыка прекрасна

[musicnutzunite]

Jeeze. Folks we have the next Yanni/Lanz/Arkenstone/Kevin Kern here. I'm simply in awe of your sense of melody and compositional skills. I can't read or write music but I have been doing original instrumental guitar compositions on and off since around 1990. It is mostly therapeutic. Your skills are off the chart. Please for God's sake FOR ALL OF US fortunate to have discovered you PLEASE record these wonderful songs and release them so we can enjoy your exceptional songs. You are toiling away in virtual obscurity sir. You should try to go bigtime. I honestly love all of your originals and frankly they are some of the best "original piano instrumentals" I've heard.
You have an incredible gift and deserve to be heard by the masses.
Seriously...I heard 2 minutes of one song and immediately subscribed.
I've got a massive collection of instrumental music. I'm a guitarist so I primarily focus on guitar-oriented material but at the same time I love well-done piano instrumentals and you certainly "scratch that itch."
Perhaps I overembelish but I can honestly hear your spectacular music being played live to an international audience like Yanni live at the Acropolis.
I'm no expert but I know good music when I hear it and you have a sense of melody that is purely a gift from God.

Embarrassed edit....um...so ...I see you HAVE compiled your works and put them on YT. And I downloaded them and will spend many many future nights drifting off to your exquisite music. I searched for stuff like this and got all the Yanni/Arkenstone/Lanz/Kern I could find and your works will now join them. Wow.

[StuartAylward]

I had to turn the volume up. Not because the production was quiet... just because, some pieces just deserve it. Totally immersing!!

Your playing, and your songs are stunning.

Thank you.

Finally found the treasure box you and your music were in. Please, never stop. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
