Our cousin Stewart has checked in with us from near Sydney, Australia. Stewart is a fabulous musician, with about 9 CD's to his credit already, and another about to come out.
There is a post about Stewart and his music on the Blog... which you can find here.
When I posted that, Stewart was just heading out the door to the premiere of the movie, The Silent Woman.
Well, go get a cup of tea, or coffee, and pull up your computer, because this you really should take a moment to listen to. Stewart has sent us the link to his youtube video, playing the title track to his new CD, and one of pieces he created for The Silent Woman movie. The song is called So Many Things to Say.
The video was made at Stewart's home, Devon Lodge, played on his new Petrof Concert Grand Piano, which weighs in at 9 ft 4in and 560 kg.
It was one of the great disappointment's of Carol's life that while Stewart offered to give her his old Steinway Grand piano, she had no way to move it from Sydney to Bondi, and had to decline.
You can see, and far more importantly HEAR more from Stewart on youtube -- Wind Dancer, a duet with soprano sax genius IGOR, for example. Or the title piece from Stewart and Igor's album, Signatures. Stewart tells us he considers Igor to be one of the most talented musicians he has ever met. And considering the depth of Stewart's own talent, that's saying a lot!
Or just drop by Stewart's home webpage. He is undoubtedly a genius on the piano, and we hope you enjoy this taste of his music as much as we do.
How wonderful to celebrate a family member!
