Nothing spectacular here...I just liked the riff that accidentally happened and then I had to finish it.  I can't record much these days (or play instruments) because my shoulder hurts so much from using the mouse and practicing.  I'm really, really, really hoping it's not permanent.  (any suggestions are welcome)  

Anyway, here 'tis.  Comments and crits welcome.  Warning...it may put you to sleep...

Janet, you caught me right in front of the songs forum and in the studio and ready to catch this beautiful piece. What happened at 1:10? It was unexpected, so beautiful, it lifted the piece up wonderfully. I am so amazed by your skill. Always envious, always awed. At moments.... the dynamics are so firm, almost harsh, suddenly they give way to such gentle beauty. I so enjoyed listening. Please do take care of that shoulder problem and try to use any possible ergonomic relief. You are so blessed, so gifted, so talented! Your final notes on this are beyond words. To anyone who does not hear this lovely piece? They do not know what they missed. You simply must continue. Thank you for this marvelous gift, a treat to the ears! - John

I liked your song, PM sent re: the neck/back.

Very, very nice Janet... I hope you find relief for your shoulder pain soon...

HI Janet I love this music your playing and you play it so well . Sorry to hear about your shoulder , I had the same thing happen to my thumb and ended up seeing a doctor along with some painfull shots in my thumb .
I think most of it was created by too much keyboard playing , over playing and since then I have slowed down so that doesn't happen again .
 
Take care of yourself your a great piano player , we need to hear more songs from you .

per my messages? I am a fellow sufferer.. And I have many good recommendations...

lovely piece....very romantic and yet at times a bit majestic! Hope your feeling better!

beautiful piece Janet, and played very well as always; i'm with John, when you put in a different chord around 1'10 i thought it was going to go off in another key/mood which would have been cool too.

Thank you, John.  Your eloquence encourages me that maybe I should keep on composing.  :)  What happened at 1:10?  Well, I had to go back and listen.  I think that was my attempt at getting out of my chord box and throwing in something different.   Thank you again.  You're very kind.  

Thanks for the good ideas, Robby.  I think all of those should help.  I believe it started with a pinched nerve when we were building the house (too much sanding two days in a row), which may or may not complicate things.  My physical therapist can get it fixed in about 5 visits, but every time I try to practice a serious piano piece, it's messed up again.  But I haven't given up quite yet!  I had a lower back problem that finally healed itself about 8 years....8 years of lots of stretching!  

Thank you, Frank! 

Thank you too, James! 

Thank you Tom.  Yeah, I wanted to vary the feel a bit.  It was a bear to get the velocities under control cause I guess I play a LOT harder than it sounds like here.  lol

Thank you, Mark.  Like I told John, I had to go back and hear what you were talking about.  And now it finally came to me...THAT would have been a perfect place for a key change!  lol    Duh...  Maybe I'll see if I can work that in toward the end when I actually did change keys.  Anyway, thanks again. :)
