I Just Sit Down At The Piano

I Learned At A Very Young Age That Music Teaches You About Life. When You're In The Midst Of Improvisation, There Is No Yesterday And No Tomorrow — There Is Just The Moment That You Are In. In That Beautiful Moment, You Experience Your True Insignificance To The Rest Of The Universe. It Is Then, And Only Then, That You Can Experience Your True Significance.

I Said, 'if You're Walking Down The Street And You See A Baby Carriage, And There's A Baby In The Carriage; You Look Down And Your Eyes Meet The Eyes Of The Baby. The Baby Looks At You: That's The Kind Of Moment You're In When You're Playing.

The Whole Underlying Theme For The New Music... Is To Communicate Honest, Human Values, And In Doing That To Try To Improve The Quality Of Life.
