The greatest gift my mother ever gave me was piano lessons. I've played, on and off, for about 50 years. I played all over California in Classical music concerts, as a teenager. Mostly Bach. I really was good. Then gave lessons for a while, in San Luis Obispo. Now I play for myself. But it's been on the back burner for a while. This is a song I will teach myself. I figure; it should take me a couple months to perfect. There may be a commercial beforehand; Sorry. I picked Clocks because it reminds me of how quickly time flies by. And all the great times I had with my mother. So;;I am learning it on my Yamaha P70 electric piano. I hope to perform again soon. - Carol

It is coming onto the 11th month of your passing. This video describes how generous you were with needy people. I used to think of you as Florence Nightinggale. You were always running around helping sick people, and stray cats. And you helped me. The taller cat is you, and the other are all the people you helped, including myself. Yet there were times when you needed help too, and were so brave about it. You hardly complained.
