Prayer for Deborah Grace

This was the 2nd piece I played for my friend June's memorial service at Recovery Café (and song 4 from Ravenn Harp volume A: Restart). {Pardon the applause at the end; this is the raw file.}

[My comments on this piece]:

The original version of this was an improvisation that came out of nowhere at a gig about 15 years ago, which my friend Barb​ (who was there at EmmaJoes) said was beautiful, and I agreed. Some days later, I learned that whilst I played, and unbeknownst to us, our friend Debbie Coleman​ had died in hospital. And so, I named it 'Prayer for Deborah Grace' to honour my friend. Ever since, it has been one of my most meaningful pieces

Variation 53, from Ravenn volume A, song a

After a 12 year absence from LibSyn, a 7 year absence from playing, and huge life changes, I've started playing again. I'm just playing for myself now as a kind of therapy, and my friends like it, so once again I've begun compiling albums and making CDs to give to friends. {CDs? What are those??} I remember how many people scattered so widely across the world enjoyed my music before, so I've decided to restart my podcast to share this 2nd time around. I'm playing a new harp now: my Dusty Strings Ravenna 34. I've only been playing again for for a few months (beginning this summer), but here it is. I'm so grateful to be playing again, after so long away Here is a cautionary note: this music is very very tranquil! Please listen in a safe quiet place, where it is okay to fall asleep (not driving).
