MOONLIGHT AND WATER

I'm not in the mood to blog or write about medical updates. Instead, I'm going to inflict you with my piano videos.

I heard those sighs of disgust.

 For some uncanny reason, my piano videos are unpopular. I'm probably too good (he says with absolute sincerity).

Moonlight and water?

First video:

Claire de lune, from the Suite bergamasque by Debussy.

Truth to tell, I dislike this composition. It's definitely over-played. Every pianist who can crawl to a keyboard attempts to play it.

This video was recorded in my studio in San Angelo. Bad video quality.

Second Video:

The Warsaw Concerto by British composer Richard Addinsell. 

Technically, this isn't a concerto.....but neither is my blog.

The Warsaw Concerto was my personal war horse - - I probably performed this more times than anything else in my piano repertoire.

BTW this is my own arrangement.

I made three or four different videos of Warsaw Concerto. This one - for some unplausible reason - I incorporated the ocean in this video. Heaven knows why.

Jon, yearning for my long ago piano performances, when I was appreciated.....

P.S.

I know my medical updates are more important than my music. First of all, things are going so badly that I don't want to horrify you. I'm absolutely miserable. Second, my Internet connection is so sporadic that I don't have time to elaborate.

I'll try to post more often.

Don't forget me.

IT'S NOT A BLOG POST

This is just a quick note. My blog posts are sparse, because I'm still having problems with my Internet connection (it's  very sparse, like my posts). I have been asked if I want to be moved to another room, where there's a better connection. I'm contemplating this. 

My innumerable health problems still persist with a vengeance, but I'm not in the mood to expound. 

I'm not allowing comments here, because it's only a crappy note.

Jon, in deep contemplation

I'm actually in an extremely dark mood. Damn weary of useless blogging........and sick of life. It's all a worthless struggle. I honestly don't give a shit.

These are my real feelings. I wouldn't dare to say any more.
