My wife plays music by her father

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Ernst Bacon died in 1990, and his heirs were each left with a portion of his extant manuscripts, with Madeline receiving mostly the keyboard music. She took this as kind of a responsibility to get some of this music "out there" before the public and produced a self-published volume of ten teaching pieces (i.e., not too technically demanding and each one less than two minutes in length) based on various places which inspired the individual works. The whole suite is called "Places". (The painting on the cover is one of Bacon's own.)

She then went into a studio and recorded the pieces (not my kind of engineering - the microphones sound as if they're inside the piano - LOL!) and uploaded the performances to YouTube. Here's a sample piece called "Gnaw Bone, Indiana":

The other nine are also up on YT. Unfortunately, this kind of effort requires a lot of time which is in short supply around our household right now. She might be able to get more of his music transferred from manuscript into printed form once she retires in a few years.
