May 26, 2020: Yesterday was when we passed the milestone of 100,000 deaths of the coronavirus. It struck me with sadness. I went to the piano and sat there thinking about it. I started exploring and something found me and I then wrote it out on paper. I fine tuned it, practiced playing it, and then recorded it. It was recorded on my Kawai upright piano, which I am the very first owner of that piano, which I bought in 2002. The composition is called Not Forgotten
June 7, 2020: Since the first upload, I have revised the composition in some places and re-recorded my performance of it. I got it mastered yesterday, and today started the process of officially releasing this composition as a single on music digital formats like Apple Music, Spotify and Pandora. on June 26, 2020. The art cover that will be associated with this single is below. Please stream this below to hear it before the official release date.

A heartfelt tribute. Thank you…
Thank you for this pensive piano meditation. It mirrors my own sadness.
David says, “Your sincerity is apparent, reminiscent of the austere but beautiful piano music of Erik Satie. Another Eric.”
A lovely , warm, simple tribute, played with feeling,
Beautifully represents the deep inner emotions of sadness with all these lives lost. It is so touching to feel this through your music. Our grieving deep in our souls is evident. So happy you can create this with your music.
