great video! great music! I wish I can write Better English !

[gembela07062001]

I've listened to this after John Williams' work, they could be two movements in one piece. You can be proud of your composition, it is beautiful and with the story behind I can imagine myself being that driftwood travelling with your music across the seas. Thanks for the trip,

Sam, I am such an eager commenter, that I commented b4 reading your description about why you wrote this song; it is poetic and reflective, the story behind it, and it deepens my appreciation behind your beautiful song.

[amccann7]

Dreamy; lovely!

[MguitarL]

A beautiful piece to listen to in the still of the night, Sam, and to follow your story and your thoughts to the accompaniment of the enchanting photos has been a real delight!

Take care, Maria

Hi Sam,

I missed this video since I was in Spain (like you...) end of August. Just discovered it while surfing and searching for the best and of course: I found you.

Very impressive! All - your playing as always - and Josies photos!

Please greet all!

PS: Hope you are soon well with this tendinitis. I also fight against that.

PS2: I am also still fighting with the estudio brillante (I also call it the tendinitis-estudio)...it was a bad idea. You were right, do you remember?

Beautiful composition Sam ,I drifted along with you and Josie this evening.I find your piece is the musical equivalent of stream of consciousness narratives somehow. To put it more plainly :I loved it ! Best regards .Claude

[AzeriMagicStrings]

Remarkable music!

Your talent reveals with new force.

I wish you the big creative successes.

What a wonderful match with the pictures expressing the moods. The calm before the storm. The fingers dancing on the ripples of the water during the storm.  The serene aftermath of the storm. All done with perfect precision. You make it look so effortless. This is my favorite one yet. Just loved it. Greetings from Pamela

Dear Pamela!  Thanks for your comments and support!

[Mr5stevenr]

What a lovely composition, Sam!! It seems sort of eternal. I know Magnetic Island. I was born in Bowen, and lived there for 15 years. We used to visit the islands sometimes, though not often enough, in retrospect. Your music reminds me of the beaches and glassy waters there. Thanks. Steve.

[sammu5]

Hi Steve! Didn't know you were from Bowen! My car broke down there once :( They have wonderful mangoes there, if I remember rightly! Maggie Island is a paradise!

Best wishes,

[nonexponential]

Wonderful, Sam! I can hear the peaceful waves, the driftwood resting on the shore, then the cyclone coming, rain falling on the sea and peace moving in again, the nostalgy. Beautiful photos as well. Thank you for sharing your composition, - Athan

[sammu5]

Hi Athan! Thanks for watching!

[SabMei1]

So beautiful Sam!

While listening to your playing I follow the driftwood on it´s varied journey. Josie and you are such a good team! Your videos really are outstanding! Lot´s of stars also from Frank - it´s his favourite piece. He is often listening to your Livingroom Concert :-)

What a beautiful place the Arthur Bay is - hopefully no sharks?

Cool regards (12 degrees) from Germany

Sabine

private message follows...

[sammu5]

Dear Sabine! There is the odd shark in Arthur Bay - mostly of the human variety! I'm very happy you and Frank have sent me lots of stars! Thanks! I'm sending you some sunshine from Spain! Have a great Sunday :)

Your biggest fan in California!

Hello James - my biggest fan in California! Thanks for the continued support! Have a good Sunday! Best wishes from sam :-D

[BocaFriend]

Sam, your wonderful backstory enriched the impact of

your evocative composition. You truly captured the

intrinsic graceful nature of driftwood journeying through

water in variable conditions. Metaphorical music! How

awesome. I love Josie's photo 0:46 with the stunning

reflection and the poignantly lovely shot of you at the

ending 5:04. Musically I loved the way you finished

the piece in such a captivating way. Cheers to you

and to Josie your creative cohort! ~Terry¸.•♫*¨

Is there a cake to celebrate?

[sammu5]

Hey You! Your pics are always a great inspiration! That's why I have to write such a long piece - so I can add as many in as possible!

[jimguitarfan]

Hiya Sam. This is a lovely, wistful composition, and Josie excels herself again with the vid ! I enjoyed your introductory text as well. The analogy is very real I think.

Thanks for sharing. Best regards,Jim :o)

[bch1234]

Wonderful, Sam.

I had to see it 2 times, the first looking at Josies beautiful pictures, so suitable for the music.

And the second time with my eyes closed, just listening to your beautiful music, letting me "drive away" in my head.

Thank you for this magic moment !!!!
