Mary's beautiful video playing on her Estonia inspired me to compose this.

As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Also note that you can right-click the link and save the mp3 to your computer, so you can put it on the portable mp3 player of your choice.

Well, I agree with everyone here. What a fitting and lovely tribute. It would be especially nice to hear an acoustic piano recording.

Thanks folks,

Mary has been quite an inspiration over the years.

I recently retired from 27 years as an IT engineering manager and I find that I can now focus creative energy on things like composing.

If anyone is interested in the score, PM me and I'll be happy to pass it along.

Chris
Regards,
Chris

Very nicely done. Mary is probably already playing it for a celestial audience.

Beautiful...Have you sent it on to her family? I think Kim and the kids would love it.
