Charts are immaterial to me nowadays - I do have over 100 number 1 placings. I just love Soundclick . . .
Visible to Soundclick Members. (A separate domain shows more). Myself and my wife Susan can chalk up a successful life raising kids, and being completely self employed in Entertainment for 39 years. I became full-time pianist at age 26, and by the time I was 31 myself and Susan were establishing an enduring Party Entertainment Business that lasted until 2019 when we retired very timely, a month before Covid. We bought a new house and other small investments. In 2015 we moved from Cheshire UK to Staffordshire UK into a very beautiful area of woodlands, lakes, lowland moors etc. I could clearly see East Cheshire just being a Manchester suburb as the incredible advance of the City of Manchester continued into the 21st century. Our Party Business was "Ace Parties - Tony and Sue" trading from Stockport - then Wilmslow. We were especially known for 3 foot tall Marionettes in our Entertainments.

Story behind the song
I originally recorded this piece MP3. The conversion to WAV was made in 2021 therefore this shows as upload date. It was in fact around 2018. YouTube Copyrights has advised me that there is no Copyright challenge on public performance of this piece of music. One of my favourites of all time - not too hard, yet not too easy to play. Full of melody, character and contrasts. Look up Composer: Robert Docker on Wikipedia. Son of a London dock worker he became a great British composer and performer. I last heard him live on BBC Radio playing this piece many, many years ago.

Sensational piano playing, Tony. Yes, it is very beautiful. The cascade of keys, the sentimental parts and then, the dynamic parts to the song. You have the piano mastered so beautifully. Violins have a soul....well, I believe that pianos do, as well. And, any instrument does....the musician has to bond with the instrument. Wonderful work.

sounds a bit like George and Ira Gershwin's music, very familiar melodies that are very comforting, thanks for posting.
