A few years back I bought a new camera and went searching for footage from this exciting marvel. I stumbled across a video that left a lasting impact upon me, both as a musician and a photographer. It was a beautiful scene from Okinawa's Kurioshio Aquarium by John Rawlinson, accompanied by the song "Please Don't Go" by a local band, Barcelona. The combination of exceptional technique, haunting music, and an environmental message were absolutely stunning.
I've got a new recording setup and finally a real piano, and I've been feeling inspired lately. This is a cover I've wanted to do since I first saw the video four years ago and I hope I did this amazing band justice. Thanks for listening. Please comment and let me know what you think.
