I know it has been a long time since I have produced any new music or posted anything here, but I have not given up on this blog or on composing. I just have not been able to find the large blocks of time I need to be able to actually put something meaningful together. But recently, thanks to a couple of very nice e-mails, I was inspired to finally finish a new song which I will be posting very soon. It will be called “Tightrope Walker” and will include a short story about Charles Blondin, who, on June 30, 1859, was the first man ever to cross Niagara Falls by tightrope.
