"Reflections" on a composer's birthday

Pianist, composer, teacher Jose Armenta (popularly known
on YouTube as Tauce67) is a generous artist friend who
honored me with "Terry's Waltz" for my birthday last June.
Here I'm happy to have the privilege of honoring one of my
favorite contemporary composers on the occasion of his
January 23rd birthday by 'playing along' photographically
with his most recent composition: "Reflections."

You can find Jose's performance video here:

Please know that Jose's schedule, since relocating
his family from their native Spain to their adopted
home in The Netherlands, does not permit him
to often enjoy YouTube these days. Our birthday
wishes may not be seen for some time and we cannot
expect him to respond in his usual gracious manner.

This is more a symbolic birthday gesture and not an
active social event for the honoree, so there's no pressure
on anyone to do anything but enjoy his beautiful music.

But, as always, I do appreciate your fine comments,
insights, observations, anecdotes, remembrances,
and opinions. I find I learn more and more about
the musical tastes and personal history of my dear
friends with each upload.

This then becomes a "birthday gift" of a universal sort!
And I know this will please Jose Armenta. ♥ ♪♫♪♫♥

With love and respect and gratitude,
~Terry ☼ who thanks DeepDiveMouse for the photo
of her beloved cat Lucy. I always knew I'd find just the
right place to honor the memory of Andrea's pretty
little green-eyed friend.

I was deep listening into this enchanting charade when I felt the breeze blew thin strands of cold --- I sensed a chasm of silence.
