Hello to everyone.I am from the Parkinsons Forum and am in the process of compiling a cd to raise money for PD.I used to be a pianist until the illness took a real hold,but when that door closed,miraculously another one opened for me.I have been writing my own music for just over a year now...as much a surprise to me as to everyone else,but have written,performed and recorded it myself.The message in this is...please don`t give up hope when things look bleak.

However,a moderator has asked me if I would post my music here and I feel extremely priveleged to share it with you.I am simply testing the water as to the possibility of my cd being sellable,audible,likeable,or if not...i know to make cookies instead to raise money.

The downside is...although I have managed to record my own stuff myself,to date I haven`t a clue how to upload it here.There are no formats for music,so please feel welcome to flit to the Parkinsons site,look for MY MUSIC thrread,where a wonderful gentleman has undertaken this task for me.
You just click on the title and bingo.Meanwhile I will work on getting it directly here.
Hope you sense the love,and emotion,the strength of my spirit,which i have endeavoured to capture.
My quote..Parkinsons may have claimed my body,but has not broken my spirit.

Your music just blows me away! Let me know where and when I can buy it.
Such talent!!! Let someone else make cookies.

Well thank you.Thank you so very much.Your reply has made me very happy and you are now responsible for even more determination from me to get this venture of the ground.
Bless you. I don`t know which part of this forum you are from...but am guessing the suicide link is close to home. Forgive me if I`,m way off the plot.
I hope I am not being presumptious here...[you are probably surrounded by heaps loving friends...]but if you need another one....well...I am a terrific listener too.

Strange how you get a different view when you read something over again.
My apologies Alfie...linked to the address you gave in my thread.
YOU are probably THE LISTENER for a ton of folk yourself.My mistake but so innocently made.Sorry if that is the case.Yes...I worry...doh!!!

Your heart is in the right place Steffi...and that also shows in your wonderful music. It's a gift...

which, with Steffi's permission, I have placed within one of her pieces of music. Us Alone / The Perfect Sacrifice. I hope you enjoy it.
