David Kanigan: Inspiration, Ideas & Information
You are a college student. You go to see Billy Joel perform on campus. He was a childhood idol. You also happen to play the piano. You raise your hand during the Q&A section. He calls on you. You ask if you can play your favorite song with him. He agrees. The rest is history. As this student describes it: “The greatest moment of my life.” Sit back and enjoy…this is something special.
Thank you Lori @ Donna & Diablo for sharing this wonderful clip. (LOVED IT!)

Beautiful vocals, lyrics and video. The only line that stuck with me and my bleary eyed self this morning was “I can’t get up.” Yet, I couldn’t hit the snooze button on this tune. Here’s Lily & Madeleine with Back to the River…
“Yiruma is the stage name of Lee Ru-ma, a 34-year old internationally-acclaimed pianist and composer from South Korea. He began playing the piano at the age of five and moved to London when he was eleven, in 1988, to study at The Purcell School of Music. He held dual citizenship, South Korean and British, until 2006, when he gave up his UK citizenship to serve in the South Korean Navy. ’Kiss the Rain’ is one of his most popular selections.” Thank you Dr. Bill Wooten for introducing me to this performer.

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills…
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust…
This is a place where I don’t feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home…
And I built a home
for you
for me
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it’s knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held on me
Held on as tightly as you held on me…
And I built a home
for you
for me

This music was composed by Arvo Pärt, an Estonian classical composer. The pianists are Marjan Peternel and Primoz Urbanc. The original piece was composed by Reinhold Gliere, a Russian composer born in Kiev (1875-1956). The song “The Hymn to the Great City” was adopted as the hymn of Saint Petersburg in 1965 and has been playing when the Red Arrow sleeper train leaves Leningrad Station in Moscow to the Moscow Station in Saint Petersburg. Shame that I didn’t get a chance to ride this train and hear this music during my visit to Moscow in the 70’s, although I’m confident I would not have appreciated it then. Beautiful composition and master pianists…just what the doctor ordered on this Sunday morning…
