Thank you for Rosemary. My husband died 2 years ago and he always told me one of his favorite things was when I sang for him. Sharing a full-throated rendition today that I hope he will hear.

The love story was great, then came the lyrics, then the voice. Wow! What a voice, in every sense of the word.

You absolutely captured a beautiful story with such a beautiful song that's so visual that it put me in the hallway outside the piano room from where, after you left, I heard her play their favorites and have quiet little conversations with her loved one, a bit of laughter, a sniffle or two and felt her overwhelming love and joy and sadness.

"Until next year."

The keyboard cover closes.

Fade to black.....

Your talent never ceases to amaze me.

Feeling as though I stumbled into someone else’s special private place. Where the affection will always remain not in loss or sadness , but in softness and gentility for that which was. Your poetry grows stronger, and the observations make me feel like a voyeur . Thank you for letting me trespass through your reflections. I keep wondering how your next chapter will unfold because every week a new book begins.

Just played your song again, this time for my girlfriend in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. She wept while listening , then silence. From both sides. When you’ve created a special feeling it pauses the world. Thanks, Kathryn.

"I packed up my tools and picked up my heart" This was a very poignant sentence within your song and really struck a chord with me.

I knew that piano tuning needed to become a song, Kathryn! Thanks for writing and sharing. I don’t play but I quietly sing along as I slow dance in the kitchen with my memories. 💔
