Walk in memories of the past



While I was going through youtube with no purpose whatsoever, I came across an old video that was oh-so-familiar to me. It was a favorite of mine, and of course, it was an Oscar Peterson Trio performance. I remembered how I watched the video and cried for endless hours in December of 2007, when I heard the news of his death. The way his magical fingers ran across the keys of the piano, the way he smiled and laughed as he created a lullaby, I can never recreate it in my head when I sit in front of my piano.

It was one of my aspirations to one day see him in a concert, maybe even have the honor to shake his hand and start a conversation with him.

No matter how much time passes, it seems like he's one person I'll never be able to forget.
