This is the theme song of the Civil War Series by Ken Burns on PBS. A lovely, melancholy Waltz that I’ve used in Waltz classes including one at Halyburton for the City of Wilimington. This is my son Brandon’s favorite waltz. Ken Burns is on PBS now…….
Another clip[1. YouTube Clip.] from the 1997 film “The Tango Lesson” featuring my friend Fabián Salas and the music of Yo-Yo Ma.
As many reviewers have noted, there isn’t a lot of talking in this movie, and indeed, this makes for a slow first half hour, but as the movie unfolds you realize that silence is the genius of the film.

A clip[1. YouTube Clip.] from the marriage of Princess Máxima of the Netherlands featuring the music of Astor Piazolla, written when his father died. This clip was sent to me by Heike McDoniel, whose grandfather (German) played the bandeneon for his family and now Heike’s father has tragically died ;(

Hey Kent, We had a wonderful time at our lesson. I am looking forward to the next one. You were made for the arts. You are so light on your feet and had such a beautiful touch when you strummed the guitar.
