    My newest:





    From the White Rock album (a favorite of mine). This piece is very soothing. I'm told that when Rick was working on the soundtrack he forgot to compose a piece for the ice skating event(s). Once he realized that he put this together on the spot so-to-speak. I don't know of that's true, but whatever - it's a beautiful piece. I play it a little slower than the original. It sounds better to me that way - maybe because it's just the piano. In any case, I hope you enjoy my arrangement of it,

    Beautiful! I agree that your slower tempo is better suiting.
    Also, the piano itself sounds fantastic. Great recording.

    Hi Chris, I've seen Rick interviewed and tell that story, and he goes on to say that he later had to learn the piece he improvised on the spot.

    Nice playing.
