Dance and Dream

This is an improvisation recorded on January 9, 2008. This song reminds me of a childhood memory, and an old music box my grandma had. A ballerina twirled around when you opened it. It’s been so long that I don’t remember which song it was anymore, but somehow the melody of this improvisation strikes a familiar chord that hearkens back to a happy time when I would be spending the night at grandma’s house, sleeping in the guest room where all the furniture looked like antiques, laying on the frilly pillows and bedsheets with a pale patchwork quilt design, and listening to this music box, mesmerized by the dancing ballerina.
