"Forever Music, Op. 68"

This particular composition, Op. 68, came to full bloom when I was able to write the words expressing how music has transformed my life. I am continually surprised and grateful to all those who have believed in me, which includes my family, friends & students. It has been a most fulfilling venture to compose the best music that I am capable of producing. "Forever Music" gives the message that MUSIC will continue beyond all of our lifetimes. My hope is that by sharing my thoughts through this song, all those who love music and the CREATIVE PROCESS, will also feel the same power that music has given to me.

Forever Music lyrics

Music has been a passion in my life.
A heav’n-ly comfort it’s been.
Sharing my tho’ts thru’ sound soothes & lifts me.
Such a moment is profound.

Music has been a passion in my life.
A heav’nly comfort it’s been.
Birds chirping happily join me in song.
It’s the purest harmony!

Music has healing pow’rs, it keeps me young.
It sparks a flame inside me.
Melodies seem to flow, not to forget
‘Til I give birth to a song.

Music has healing pow’rs, it keeps me young.
It sparks a flame inside me.
Stirring the secrets I wish to impart
Which I’ll give with all my heart!

CODA
Music speaks to me.
Promises to keep
It is here forever!
Music, music, music, music
Lives forevermore!
