These two latest recordings are my daily piano 'meditations' for Jan 17th and 19th. Today as I listen to them, on the inauguration of Pres. Obama, I can hear some of the excitement in my music that I have felt about our new president.
As a boy, I watched the police brutality and the savagery of bigots on the TV news on a regular basis. I have never understood that hatred and I've always resented the people that tried to make my skin color a badge of ignorance and shame.
This late election has redeemed us caucasians as much as it has relieved other ethnicities, maybe more so. No other single event could ever be as meaningful a signal to Americans that pluralism is real. Equality is still an issue, but the side of right has delivered a smashing blow to the willfully unjust, from which we can only HOPE that they never recover.
