Hello Derek, Thanks for the wonderful music that you create. You are my favorite pianist. Your improvisational playing is simply amazing. I look forward to purchasing your new CD. I was wondering if you've played other instruments, and if you have ever tried creating multi-track recordings using a keyboard? For a person without sight, it is possible to create a simple setup where you can record different tracks, switching bewtween tracks with a simple foot pedal (Ableton Live software is good for this kind of arrangment). I create music this way and I find the creative potential to be incredible, as you can create mutli-layered compositions using hundreds of different instruments, accessed through the piano keyboard. The result does not need to be artifical sounding, and with the current software and keyboars available, one person can create rich, complex pieces themselves. I can only imagine the possibilities with someone like yourself playing. By the way Derek, my favorite keys are F#/Eb minor, moving from major melodies in F# to an Eb blues with lots of minor seventh chords. I'd love to hear you experiment in this mode sometime. Best wishes and continued success. Keep up the good work and keep recordng. We woudl all like to see a big discography from you over time, if that's what you'd like to do! Regards, Brett
