**SAD VAMPIRES Ghostly Waltz No 2 currently being turned into a film**

I wrote two piano concertos in 2011 and 2013 to fulfill a promise I made to myself as a piano student  that I would write one and then premiere it much in the same way Rachmaninoff did with his 2nd, my intention being to launch a career as a composer, pianist, & conductor. Well, fate had other plans---a severe finger injury grounded me as a pianist at 20 and I never  wrote that concerto. The dream eventually faded, though it apparently had been lying dormant somewhere underneath my psyche. One day a few years ago an innocuous tune  just happened to pop into my mind. I finally decided to act on that long dormant ambition and write that piano concerto. A second one followed, the better of the two, the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor Opus 2 which is available for listening on my YouTube Homepage. A few years later I added the "Five Ghostly Waltzes" one of which, "Sad Vampires"
