Mockingbird

Collaborative Pianist

Music is more about responding to sounds than making them. Listen more and play less. Care for the duration of each note as you would a child, and be present.

Padgett's Place

Padgett’s Place is my private retreat.

It feeds and rejuvenates me.

The water has healing powers.

The sounds remind me that I am part of something bigger than myself.

The air helps me appreciate everything that I have.

I visit this place, and I am nudged to give more of myself to others.

May the hearts of others
Hear again the music
In the lost echoes
Of their neglected wonder.
– John O’Donohue
