“Chiudo gli occhi e vedo te, Trovo il cammino che
Mi porta via, Dall' agonia
Sento battere in me, Questa musica che,
Ho inventato per te.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .I close my eyes and see you,
Finding the path transporting me away from pain.
Mi porta via, Dall' agonia
Sento battere in me, Questa musica che,
Ho inventato per te.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .I close my eyes and see you,
Finding the path transporting me away from pain.
I feel beating within me,
This music I invent for you.

Music has always captured and inspired me throughout my life.
On my fifth birthday i was given the gift of a cream coloured miniature version of a grand piano – a Schoenhut toy piano for children, one i’m certain set both my loving aunt and uncle a small fortune back then.
A few hours of tinkering, to my amazement and that of my parents, i was able to quickly work out and play a simple tune with the couple of octaves available to me – not that i knew what an octave was then.
Many uprights later, rented and bought as we travelled backwards and forwards from Aus and abroad, and for a period of time being without, i now have my very own black grand piano.
The tunes, albeit a little more complex these days, which i still sit and work out, amaze me.

A gift which continues to give me great joy.
Love you and forever grateful.
I dedicate this series to you both.
