Piano Freestyle
Another OTS (Over-The-Shoulder) video with a piano freestyle (improvisation) over the song "I Want You Around" by Snoh Aalegra.
This is another song that I stumbled upon after practicing on the drums to get ready for a Sunday church service. This was my first time hearing the song, as it popped up in the YouTube playlist.
My piano freestyles are improvisations - un-rehearsed, unwritten, spontaneous, off-the-top-top-of-my-head, music experiences. I'm just having fun being in the moment with the music.
I point out that I am not a trained pianist and the fact that I started having these experiences around the same time I started loosing my eyesight.
These are my personal experiences in music that have opened me up to a whole new way of thinking about myself and the world around me. At a very tough time in my life, these music experiences were instrumental in moving me through.
I hope that by sharing these experiences, I can encourage you and others to "keep taking steps" in the life and music journeys - no matter what you encounter.
Enjoy the Journey
If nothing else, I hope you understand that I'm just a "journeyman" meeting others at the intersection of life and music. I don't claim to be the best. I just give my best and let the music do the rest.
As a VIP (Visually Impaired Person) making music, my heart is to encourage you that when "life happens", you keep taking steps and live through the loss. You may have to re-learn some things, but the biggest thing you will learn is who you are.
Helping others navigate the music and life journeys is at the core of what I do.
Grace and Peace!

Since this is a spontaneous piano freestyle video recording, I did not set things up to record it as a song. SO, this video is the only recording of my piano freestyle. Contact me if you would like me to make a piano cover of this song.
